Honestly I wish I knew more about PPROM (preterm premature rupture of membrane)
I have referred to my now toddler as my rainbow baby. I lost my son due to PPROM at 20 weeks, and honestly I had no clue what was happening until it was to late. And the Doctors just talked fast and didn’t really explain anything. I also wish they would give more sonograms!! I only had one sono at 8 weeks pregnant this pregnancy.
With my next pregnancy, I had a sonogram every two weeks. at my 16 weeks appointment they found that I was already dilated and funneling. I had to get a cerclage to keep from going into labor and having pprom again. honestly I just wished I knew more, I don’t know if it would’ve changed anything but I could have least have been on the look out for the signs. And because I knew more with my rainbow baby I was able to keep her in until 35 weeks by having a cerclage.
So sorry to hear that. Blessing to your rainbow baby for being here. I don’t care how annoyed doctors get, I ask countless questions until I have a clear understanding. I’m not to familiar with PPROM, wish I was so I can help you there. I do agree they don’t give many ultrasounds. I didn’t get my first one from the doctor til 10w, they wouldn’t give one sooner. I said from the doctor because at 6w, I went to the private ultrasound that licensed to ease my mind. They usually gave them in malls or different places.
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. It’s so easy to blame ourselves when things go wrong but please remember you did everything you possibly could have with the knowledge you had.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I wish you knew about it sooner too. My heart goes out to you. I wish they did more check ups too especially when there is so many uncertainty in the first little bit
I am so sorry to hear about your loss but I think it’s so strong and powerful of you to share your vulnerability here your story could help others and that is such a beautiful thing
Congratulations on your rainbow baby and again I know that doesn’t take away from your loss
I’m sorry that you had to go through that it’s so scary and I’m glad they figured it out early With your rainbow baby and you were able to get the cerclage
Gosh that is so hard I am so sorry for your loss and what you had to go through! Please tell us more about your baby, and what a blessing it is to bring your rainbow baby earth side!
So incredibly sorry. bless You and all of your babies. I’m sure none of that even crossed your mind and you assumed it would be an uneventful and exciting pregnancy. I’m sure a lot was shock too and don’t have time to process !
During the pregnancy (with my rainbow baby) I had so much anxiety we were in and out of the hospital often just to check on her. I ended up having gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, so she was born at 35 weeks 4 pounds 7 oz. Not nicu luckily. She now about to be 2 a big mamas girl. And this week she started calling me mommy. She’s literally one of my greatest blessings. Thank you for asking about her
No doubt sister he’ll always be with you. I’m glad you don’t blame yourself. I know that’s hard to do. I’ve gone through losses myself and it’s been 6 years and I still feel that way all my love to you
