at 32 weeks + 1 day I went to see my
doctor because I was leaking fluid. He
did an pelvic exam to see what the
problem was. I waited about 20 minutes
for the results and he told me that I
was leaking mucous and not to worry
about it.
The next day, I was reading a magazine
and it was talking about leaking mucous.
It said that losing your mucous plug
means you'll have your baby soon. When
I went to the bathroom I noticed blood
so I freaked out and called the
hospital. They told me to go to the
hospital because I should have my baby
soon. So, we went to the hospital.
They told me that my membranes had
ruptured prematurely and I should have
my baby in a couple of days.
So, I was in the hospital for a couple
of days. They gave me steroids to help
the baby's lungs develop.
At 32 weeks + 4 days, at 9:00 a.m. my
contractions were coming about 10
minutes apart. They put me on a fetal
heartrate monitor. My daughter was born
at 11:48 a.m. (after 20 minutes of
pushing) at 4 lbs. - 10 oz. and 16 3/4
inches long.
She is now 2 years and 4 1/2 months old.
She weighs 28 lbs and is caught up to
other children her age.
I am now 29 weeks with my second
pregnancy. So far, no sign of premature
labor or anything. I am about 3 weeks
away from when my daughter was born. I
am hoping that I will make it passed
that day with this pregnancy.
