Here is my story. We conceived in
March of 04 and found out in May that
we were expecting twins. We were not
only surprised, but just so happy
beyond belief. We never even
discussed the chances. From that
moment on, my life was consumed with
babies, as I'm sure most women's are
during pregnancy. Everything was
going fine, the only hiccup was that
they did see a fibroid during a
routine ultrasound, but were not
concerned by it, and just said they
would monitor it. Well, at around 10
weeks, I had a gush of fluid that I
swore was my water breaking, so the
next day, went it and had an
ultrasound. There was fluid in there
and the Dr. said "everything is fine"
(I will never be comforted by those
words again). So, at 14 weeks, I went
in for a routine exam, and they could
only find one heartbeat, so went in
for an ultrasound. To my horror,
there was only one baby left, my body
actually absorbed almost all of the
other baby except the spine. We were
horrified, but again reassured that
everything was perfect with the other
baby, so we focused our attention to
our other healty baby and life went
on. (even though deep down inside, i
knew my water broke, but my Dr.
wouldn't confirm that). So about 2
weeks later, on July 3rd, sitting at
home, my water broke. I knew 100% what
it was and we rushed to the hospital,
to only have confirmation that that
was the case. Our baby was defintely
alive and moving around, but there was
barely any fluid left. So, I was
admitted to AntePartum and was on an
IV for infection and bedrest for 4
days to see if the fluid would re-
juevenate. It did not and there was
no hope at all. There was also the
severe risk of infection. So, on July
7th at 4:00pm I started to be induced
and delivered our baby boy on July 8th
at 5:51am. It has been 4 1/2 weeks
since delivery and there are no
answers. Most Doctors say it was just
a fluke. I never developed an
infection. So, in a few months we
will try again. Although emotionally,
I am not sure when I'll be ready. I
miss my baby boy so much. I am
currently scheduled to see a
specialist to see if my fibroid could
have been the cause of my PROM. At
this point, that is the only answer.
