My name is Rebecca and Im 27 years
old. I have PCOS which causes
infertlily and was never able to
concieve. After 7 years I lost 55 lbs
and out of the blue i got pregnant. I
was excited. All went fine then about
14-15 weeks I started noticing small
amounts of watery discharge. I went to
ER and they did U/S and it was ok and
sent me home with Antibiotics for
bacterial infection. I told my doctor
and he said some discharge is normal.
But it continued. At 21 weeks 2 days.
I was at work and I felt a gush and
went to toliet and noticed that I was
leaking and dialated almost 1 cm. I
went to hospital (sunday) and they
tested and it was AF. My doctor showed
right up and they admitted me for
observation in case I started labor
and did U/S. They said there was
enough fluid around the baby. I never
went into labor. My doctor sent me
home on strict bedrest. I was a mess
and crying I knew it was over but my
doctor stayed on the positve side and
instructed me on the bedrest. So my bf
moved my bed down stairs in the Living
room and there i camped in from of
TV. He waited on me hand and foot. I
got up only to pee, took my temp 3
times a day, showered once a week,
drank gallons of water and drove my
doctor and the OB nurses crazy with my
constant calling. and I worried and
prayed 24/7. As long as i remained
perfectily still I didnt leak. AT my
25 week U/S, My fluid was norma it
seemed to have resealed.and I found
out i was having a boy. By week 28 I
started Steriod injections in case of
preterm labor. My doctor said if made
it to 34 weeks i could deliever here
(small town hosp) if before I would
have to go to little rock which is 3
hours away. At about 32 weeks I
started leaking a bit more probable
due to baby getting bigger. finally I
hit 36 weeks and my doctor scheduled
me for induction. After 14 hours of
labor and a c section I had a
perfectly healthy baby boy. 6 lb. 4
oz. The greatest sound was hearing him
cry when doctor removed him from by
belly. we named him Dalton Gene Lee.
My doctor even said he was a miracle
and I was so lucky that infection
didnt set in or experienced any other
complications. My doctor was so
wonderful to stay positve and caring.
about 13 weeks i had brochitis, flu,
about 15 weeks i had UTI and also
bacterial infection. I wondered if
these contributied to my water
breaking or the fact of my
infertility. My doctor said no one
really knows what causes it. I hope my
story can give hope to those who are
my situation.
