Hello,
This is just a follow-up, somewhre my
story is posted February 2008. Lost my
son to PROM at 16 weeks. I read the
stories on the board a lot back then.
I remember one story that shared "...I
am very sad I lost my son to PROM but
I now have a little daughter and if I
had not had lost my son I would not
have her...." This sentence somehow
brought me hope. Three months after
the loss I was pregnant again. So
scared, pregnant after PROM. I did not
want Ultrasounds, as I thought they
had to do with my previous PROM. My
doctor fired me as I did not trust her
with anything. I ended up with the
maternal fetal specialist team as my
primary doctors. Every week from week
20 or so I got a progesterone shot, I
took baby aspirin every day as my
cardio lipin had been borderline high
and every two weeks they did a vaginal
ultrasound checking for cervical
length. I was scared through the whole
pregnancy. But there was not a single
problem, perfect pregnancy and at
almost 40 weeks, almost exactly to the
day one year after I lost my son, my
beautiful daughter was born. She is
the most beautiful girl in the world:-
) I just wanted to share this to give
hope to those who go through PROM. A
perfect pregnancy after PROM is very
possible. Oh, by the way, and by no
means do I know if any of this had to
do with my pregnancy outcome, I took
throughout the pregnancy: extra
calcium, magnesium, selenium in
addition to prenatal vitamin, fishoil,
Cholin, NAC (because of a study that
said NAC might prevent infection in
womb after PROM, so I thought it might
be good keeping infection out of womb
altogether) Vitamin C (1000mg every
other day, also to prevent infection
as my PROM had been caused by
infection)... I will be 40 years old
in August and this is my first child.
