I have had two children at 24 weeks due
to my PROM. My water broke with my son
at 22 weeks and I was able to keep his
in for two weeks. He weighed 1lb 14 oz
and was 13 1/2 in long. They ran
antibotics through me and keep me on
bed rest. I also received steriod
shots which helped his lungs develope.
He did have some intestional problems
and we almost lost him a couple of
times, but he is perfectly heathly
today. With my second child I was much
more careful during my pregnancy. I
had no signs like with my son, no back
pain or frequent urination, nothing. I
woke up and my water had broke and I
was almost 24 weeks, I was only able
to keep her in 2 days. Her lungs were
not developed enough, she had holes in
her bronchical tubes. With everything
that my husband and I had gone through
with my son it made it a little easier
to let her go. I did not want to see
her suffer and there was nothing we
could do. I don't think I would have
understood that if I wouldn't of had
my son. She only weighed 1lb 6 oz and
was 13 inches long. Although we feel a
loss for our daughter we feel blessed
to have our son.
