Brendansmum, I had a prem baby for my 1st aswell, she was born at 32 weeks and I can understand how hard mentally, physically and emotionally it was. There was no reason why I came early so I was terrified to fall pregnant again incase I had to go through it all again (which I would of anyway as it was well worth it)! But here I am 38 weeks pregnant with my 2nd!!!!!!!!!! So there is hope that we can go on to have full term babies......actually I am booked in for c section on the 21st as this baby is too big for me to birth. Please be confident and positive as there is hope that we can go on to a 'normal' prengancy and birth. I have to say this has been the LONGEST pregnancy for me as I was prepared to come early so I had everything ready to go at 26 weeks!! And I am still here. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!! All the best!!
Hi Joss, thanks for the positive message, I'm really glad you've made it to term this time! well done!!! Why did your DD come early (if you dont mind me asking)?
My waters broke at 28wks with Brendan, which along with my previous records the drs have said I've got more of a chance going early, they just dont know how early.
BRENDANSMUM Thanks so much for posting this.... I am replying to your thread from my hospital bed as my waters broke on Wednesday morning (31wk+1d). This is my first bub & I really want 2. I am already wondering whether I will put myself through this again. I know they say the chances are high of having another prem.
JOSS You have given us hope. It's fantastic how far you've come. Congratulations
Brendansmum, they don't know why I came early?? There was no medical reason why I did, I just did. Although I was a prem baby aswell and so was my brother so I was expecting to come early again with this pregnancy. I was given a 90% chance of coming early again but we didn't know how early either. I am just letting you know, the doctors do not know exactly if you will come early again so if you keep thinking positive then everything will work out!! Good Luck!!
Georgi, Congratulations and I hope you keep on board I lasted 2 weeks after my waters broke and I know of another lady how had twins she lasted almost 7 weeks!! Good luck and all the best.
Joss, oh thank you so much! I really appreciate your posts! It's helped alot, thank you.
BREDANSMUM The Ob has given me a max of 2weeks, but I had an ultra sound yesterday which showed my cervix is tightly closed so I'm hoping that will help me hold out a little longer. Thanks for your wishes.
Georgi, you've made it through the first 24hrs which in itself is a huge achievement! At least now the steroids (which I'm assuming they would have given you) will have chance to help bubs. All the best.
