Hi.
Im now 20 weeks gone and last thursday i started to leak. i didnt even think anything of it at first, if anything i thought hmm have i just wet myself??
I had to go to hospital, where they done a speculum examination.
The doctor and midwife both stood there shaking their heads and then told me that i had suffered from (Preterm Premature Rupture if Membrane) PPROM and there was a masssive chace that i would go into labour that night and the baby would definately die.
I absolutely broke down, it has to be the worst thing ever to find out, particulary when yr this far down the line. I always took for granted the 12 week milestone.
I was in hospital till yesterday, they have told me there is a very small chance that the baby will make it and im half way mentally prepared to go into labour now.
Im at a huge risk of infection too.
Its so hard to accecpt because i can feel it moving about right now and iv seen it waving its tiny arms around and heard its little heartbeat. I feel so much for anyone that has had to or will go through this because it is absolutely soul destroying.
People say just try not to think about it but how can you do that?
Im keeping both my fingers and my legs crossed that i make it to atleast 24 weeks so the baby has a slight survival rate.
The reason it happened to me was because i had a UTI that my midwife had not noticed and it had turned really bad and weakened my sac.
I did not realise that i had a urine infection i was getting pains in my back but i suffered with pelvic girdle pain so i put it down to that.
Im terrified other mums to be will go unnoticed like i did.
I hope other mums to be will read this and take it in, and if you get an ache or pain that yr not sure of get it checked out, iv now learnt its better to worry about these little things than to put it down ' thats just my body adapting for the baby'.
