It was not genetic with us either and our second one had PRS too. But he did not have it as bad. He did not have to stay in the NICU and had no breathing problems like my first one did. But don't worry. Even if it does happen again, you have been through it before and you know that everything will be ok. Going through it the first time is horrible because of the uncertainty. Now that you know everything will work out, even if it happens again, you will be fine. You are a pro at it now. And if the 2nd baby is born fine, then that is just icing on the cake. Don't worry. You will cross that bridge when you get to it and now at least you know how to cross it.
