Mary's PROM Story   by Mary, MD USA
PROM at 29 + 0 weeks, delivery at 34 + 0 weeks
Story added 2000-05-15
 
This is my PROM story number two. It too has a happy ending but in more ways was more difficult because of the extent of the complications. I though I would have a "normal pregancy", despite my earlier one. On December 28 1998, I went to the hospital with pre- term labor. I came home with a home monitor and a terbutaline pump and orders for bedrest.

I had gestational diabetes and was also getting steroid shots twice a week for the baby's lungs. This was nerve wracking and hard, my daughter was just barely one, but my husband was able to work from home. Then, without warning on February 4, 1999 my water broke again! I had the same feeling of a wave of exhaustion come over me before it happened. I stayed in the hospital for the next 5 weeks, but this time my body kept making fluid. I had been diagnosed earlier with a little too much, which helped me in the end. I became a legend in the L&D and prenatal wing. I was sent to L&D many times with false labors and contractions 3 minutes apart. I was given way too many shots and was so tired of IV's...

Finally, they had to induce because I had a fever. After 16 hours of labor with failure to progress, and epidural that was on a nerve and had to be taken out, I was sent for an emergency C- section. On March 8, 1999 my son Owen was born and was a healthy 6lbs. It was a hellacious experience that I wouldn't wish on anybody, but it turned out better than I had imagined it would. I was afraid of having another preemie. Needless to say, my docotrs advise me that I am luck to have the children I do, and would be better not to have anymore due to all of the risk factors stacked against me. After the past couple of years and all that my husband and I have been through, we have to agree with the doctors.. they still don't know why I had PROM....
