Okay this is now my third pg. and I am going to be ready for an early birth this time ( at least this is what my dr. feels will happen as I have already PROM'ED twice) The dr. now thinks maybe it's because I carry so much fluid. He did US too see if I am having only one again. I am measuring lg to date again. Only one but lots of fluid. I spend lots of time in hospital with morning sickness and headaches really bad. This went on till 28 weeks. I was at home taking a shower (this at 33 wks 6 days) and just got out and dried off and my water broke again. I called my dr. and he said I am not going to hold you off as both your other babies have done well-- so go to hospital and I will meet you there- we will have a baby today. They put in an iv and started meds to get my labor going which after 7 hrs or so was working but every time I would have an contraction Lainee's heart rate would drop clear down. I ended up with a c- section and had a healthy baby girl - Lainee weighted in at 5' and was 17 in. The dr. looked at me and said I am glad you are getting your tubes done as you keep getting earlier with each pg. So I don't know about any of yous but I am glad God blessed me with two healthy boys and a healthy little girl. I believe it had to be because of my large amount of fluid- anyone else feel that way?
