Now for the positive story, I became
pregnant with my second son in
November ( last year). I was super
nervous about being pregnant again.
Who wouldn't be! I read website after
website trying to find encouraging
stories of women whom experienced
pProm and then had successful
pregnancies after that. To my
disappointment I seemed to find a lot
of reoccurring PPROM stories... not
too many good ones. So I swore that if
this pregnancy went well I would come
back to this site to give a happy
story for those who need the positive
story I did.
So here I am, writing this as a new
mom!
My next pregnancy went to full term.
I was tested for BV, I tested positive
and was treated for antibiotics. I
went to the perinatal doctor from 14
weeks to 36 weeks. He gave me an
ultrasound to check my cervix every
few weeks. I also went to my OB every
other week where they also checked my
cervix through an ultra sound... it
was always fine. At 17 weeks I began
to get the progesterone shots... got
those until 36 weeks. I was also on a
low dose of daily antibiotics for
bladder infection prevention. Oh and I
was on "pelvic rest"... No sex and
hired a house keeper. Wow, that seems
like a lot, but over 9 months it
wasn't so bad... took a pill a day,
saw doctors a lot, got weekly shots
and didn't get busy with my husband!
Worth it for the cute little guy we
have now!
I know that it's a scary time for
anyone that experience PPROM, but I
hope my success story helps some of
you get through your next pregnancy
with a little less fear.
