On April 24th, 1999 my water broke while
in the bathroom. I was 22weeks 1 pg. I
was rushed to the hospital with
contractions every 2 minutes. I didn't
have any pain at all. The ultra sound
revealed no fluid. I opted to take the
Magnesium Sulfate for about 12 hours to
stop the contractions.
They stopped and I was sent to a room
where I was told the grim outlook and
that I would be there until I delivered.
The next week I continued to make fluid
and leak fluid. Exactly one week later I
went into labor. I didn't say anything
to anyone until the contractions were
about 2 mins apart. They were extremely
painful but I didn't want to believe
this was actually labor. On May 1, 1999
I delivered my first born son John,
weighing 1lb 2oz. He was perfect but he
didn't have any lungs. He died 4 hours
later. We buried our son on May 5, 1999.
I have had infertility for 11 years and
this was my first pregnancy and our
miracle baby. He was conceived on Gonal
F and IUI. We were so thrilled to be
pregnant.
I'm grieving a lot right now because
this is very fresh but all I can think
of is what to do about PROM and if there
is another pregnancy how to sustain it.
I would appreciate any information and
support on PROM. I would love to hear
any subsequent success stories after
PROM.
Thanks,
Tracy
