Just before my daughter turned 8 months
old, I conceived a second. Since I was
still breastfeeding, getting back to a
fulltime job, and taking care of our
baby, it was an exhausting preganancy.
At 22 weeks, with no warning, my water
broke. I had visited my doctor a few
days prior with what I thought was a
yeast infection. She diagnosed by sight,
now I realize it could have been
misdiagnosed an actually caused PROM.
When I was given the bleak news, I was
in denial that the baby would not
survive. It is difficult to be pregnant
one minute then told to induce labor the
second. Psycholigically, I could not
induce labor. I delivered our second
daughter within 24 hours. Although she
did not survive labor, we held and
kissed her, told her how much we loved
her and said good-bye. I am pregant
again and scared. The doctors don't know
what caused my PROM and the loss of our
baby girl. I feel powerless to avoid it
again since I don't know what caused it.
