By Rukmani Iyer, Wellington New ZealandHi,
PROM at 33 weeks + 4 days. Delivery at 33 weeks + 5 days.
Story added: 2001-07-27
I was 33 weeks pregnant with my first child when I felt fluid leaking out. I was advised by my midwife to go to hospital where I was told my waters had broken. I was given antibiotics and kept under observation. That night, I went into labour on my own and the next day delivered Vaibhav, a little boy. He breathed on his own and did not have any problems. He is now 1 year old and doing well.
I would like to have another child in a few years but am concerned about the recurrence of PROM.Please let me know if you have had a full-term pregnancy after a PROM one and is there anything I can do to prevent it?
