This was my first pregnancy. I had some
cramping overnight the day before my
water breaking.
I had brown spotting with CM the next
morning (didn't know that could have
been my plug). No cramping at the time
of spotting.
I asked the high risk peri's office and
they said this was normal. I had some
minor cramping during the day and no
more spotting. I had some leaking fluid
at 7pm with some cramping.
We went home and called the on call dr.
(my dr). Dr said they couldn't do much
that he thought it was just urine. My
DH and I thought it was ambiotic fluid.
He said to come in -in the morning or
go to the ER if it got worse. During
the night while laying in bed, my water
broke completely. huge gush.
I went to the ER and was constantly
leaking water and blood. I was trying
not to stand but had to while giving my
information to the ER personnel.
The next morning, my dr came to see me
and later that day he said I had a fever
and they suspected an infection.
(Infection because of my water breaking
- not an existing one to cause it to
break).
I had to induce because of risk to
myself. My dr. wanted to see how it
would go until he found out that I had a
fever. After that, he said that I was
his primary patient and although he was
against termination, he wanted to keep
me alive. I pushed back and said I would
like to wait, but he told me that I
would put myself in danger - organs
shutting down, etc. My husband and I
decided to induce for my health. Later
that day we induced (no D&C or D&E).
Our son was born that evening. He was
perfect. We named him and got to hold
him. The next day we got pictures of
him that I couldn't look at for about a
week since I was so sad.
