Dear All
I'm a 30 year old female and conceived naturally this year (no known fertility problems)
I's been a week since I lost my son at exactly 17 weeks to a PPROM. I was at home and felt something "sink" into my vagina, when I went to the toilet my waters burst. My partner and I went to the emergency room, where they explained that I had had a PPROM (maybe due to infection, cause they couldn't specify, and cervix in order). This was my first pregnancy.
I spent the two days in the hospital sobbing and was given medication to help me sleep and to calm me down. I talked to a psychologist there, which helped.
I delivered my son the day after I was given an anti-progesterone pill to take. The placenta came out mostly on its own, but they scheduled a D&C to make sure that it all came out and to minimize my risk of infection. The doctor who operated on me told me that everything was in order with my cervix, that "these things happen," and that it wasn't likely to recur again.
This past week has been so hard for me. If it weren't for my partner, I don't know how I'd be doing. I feel so incredibly lonely without my little son in me anymore.
I just need to know that there's hope. Everyone has been telling me that there is, but it's hard for me to believe.
Are there any good stories out there? Can someone please give me some hope?
Thank you.
