pprom at 32weeks 1 day
on sun i celibrated the fact i reached 32 weeks but the next day my waters broke with no labour, got to hospital and contractions started which they succsesfuly stopped, im back home today, after finishing steriod injection, but im off the medication that stops contractions, how well do babies do born at above 32 weeks, and is there anyone been through the same thing? my little girl is estimated to be 3 pound 12oz, which is on the lower end of the scales for GA, and how long does labour usaly accour after the medication stops that ceased contractions, very scared as i only lost my last daughter this time last year due to heart complications and 3 and a half weeks old also this is my 5th pregnancy with no live children yet, naturaly im very concerned, and they said if i go back into labour they will deliver her. any help advice or what to expect would be very helpful wanting to learn as much as possible and any suggestions, of anything for advice would be greatly apprecated
thank you

Oh how scary for you. My daughter was born at 35 weeks after prom, but I think the issues and required care would be different for a 32 weeker so will leave it to others with more experience.
Just really wanted to send you big hugs and crossing everything for you that your little one stays put for a bit longer. oxox

My daughter was delivered at 34 weeks weighing 3lb 12oz. She had alot of pre-diagnosed medical conditions but she did amazingly well.
I had steroids at 28w and 31w. She never had any problems with her breathing or anything.
Good luck!

My little man was born at 31 weeks. All was good, he had the steroids like your little lady. He was 4lb 1oz born. He spent about 10 days on CPAP (oxygen through nasal prongs), then managed breathing on his own. He went from strength to strength after that, and was discharged roughly on his original due date.
I feel for you, I lost my daughter too, back in 2009, so understand the stress,
Thinking of you, hope all is well,
If you need to talk just pm me,

My friend had twin boys at 31 weeks. Took a while to get them home but they are both perfect now.
Medical science is an amazing thing. The doctors and nurses know what they are doing and the technology to keep preemies alive these days is phenomenal.
I'm sure your little one will be just fine
Wishing you all the best. I hope he/she stays put for a little while longer!!

I work in nicu. And 32 weeks is great. It would need some help breathing and then time to grow and learn to feed but usually a baby born early will be home around its due date ;)
Good luck.

I had pprom at 32+5 weeks with my first son, I had him at 33+3 weeks.
He spent 4 wks in hospital, the first 5 of those days in nicu and the rest in scn. He did need help breathing but I also know a lot of 30+ weekers breathing on their own from the start.
Each bub is different but I can remember one of the nurses telling me they breath a sigh of releif usually after 32 weeks so in premmie terms it's kinda good.
I didn't get to go home after pprom and then my body went into labour, he was a hefty 5pm 1oz though.
I hope lab our stays away it must be very scare time for you but if bub does arrive soon I hope he/ she has a smooth hospital stay

I PPROM'd at 28 weeks with DS1 and he was delivered at 30+1 weeks. I was told I'd deliver within 24hrs. I lost both water sacks and was hospitalised.
I have everything crossed you make a few more weeks yet x

I'm so very sorry to hear that you've had such a rough journey. I spoke to my Obstetrician about early labour a couple of weeks ago and what the earliest gestation is that he would be happy to deliver at. His answer was 34 weeks. He says from 34 weeks the babies tend to do really well. Before that their chances of survival are still quite good, but there is a higher risk of complications. So based on that I will keep my fingers crossed that your little one can stay put at least a couple more weeks for you, but if things don't go to plan I'm sure that all will turn out well for you :)
