I have three beautiful daughters who all decided they were impatient and wanted to show up early - born at 28 weeks (now 19 years old), 35 weeks (now 18 mos. old) and 25 weeks(now 6 mos. old).

We'd love to have another baby - my husband and I are definitely going to wait a bit to let my body have a chance to recover before we even consider trying - but of course it's pretty likely that my membranes will rupture early again...is it selfish to want to try again?

In each case I think I just taxed my body too much and didn't take it easy enough - each rupture now that I really think about it was preceded by maybe a bit too much physical exertion on my part (oh, the guilt) and maybe if I really look after myself and take it as easy as I can...
