Hi Ladies,
I wanted to get your opinions as I know many of you have been through what I have. I had by baby boy at 24+4 after being in "labour" for 9 days. It was never truly labour until a few hours before I had him because while my cervix fully dilated, I never actually contracted until soon before he came. My water didn't break until he was almost out. He lived for 3 weeks but passed away from what we think was an infection.
I know it's always hard to figure out why this happens, but I'm wondering if any of you who have had similar experiences can give me any clues as to possible causes. I had no real pain before I learned that I was fully dilated, which tells me it's possibly incompetent cervix? I know they did find an infection in the placenta, but from what I can tell that may have happened after I dilated. I'll be seeing the high risk OB in a few months but till then I'd love to see what you all think.
