This was my fourth pregnancy and fourth
PROM, with first at 36weeks, 2nd at 34
weeks, third at 28+6 weeks and this one
at 29+2 weeks. The pregnancy was a
problem right from the start, I had a
bleed at 5 weeks, morning sickness
(vomiting) until 14 weeks, and Braxton
Hicks contractions since 12 weeks. After
3 threatened prem labours and drugs to
stop them, my membranes ruptured at 29
weeks 2 days. I was hospitalised to and
given IV antibiotics to prevent
infection. They monitored me to see if I
was going to go into labour, after four
days I noticed my loss turning green ,
so they hooked me up for monitoring and
babys heart was dipping out with each
contraction (had been mild since waters
broke). I was rushed down to L&D and
prepped for a C-section.
When they delivered our daughter, she
screamed her head off, and her apgars
were 9 & 10. We got to hold her for
about 15 mins and then they took her
away to be cleaned up, and weighed. She
weighed 1460 Gms or 3lb 3 1/2oz, She
never needed any oxygen and is 16 days
old today, she still has not had any
Bradys or apneas, is in and isolette
until she puts on some more wight, and
doing everything they told us she would
not be able to do. For all those mums
out there that have been given the worst
case, know that there is always hope. We
have know how hard it is with our third
child and now we know that some babies
dont always do what is expected of
them!!
