RE: long time, no post...update (PROM)

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I had my DD at 32 weeks 6 days due to PPROM. I don't know anything

labor induction though. My water began to leak on Sat. morning. The

Dr. dismissed it because he couldn't see ferning. He gave me some meds

and sent me home on bedrest. Then on Wed. evening my water broke

completely....no mistaking it this time! I had an emergency c-section.

I can only give you advice on the preemie experience....being approx 7

weeks early, my DD did great. She had no major problems other than

having to be under the bilirubin light for a few days. We also had some

trouble getting her to take a bottle. She was in the NICU for a total

of 12 days. She is 21 months and very healthy!

Have they given you steroids in order to help develop the baby's lungs?

I have heard that this helps.

Best of luck to you!

Jen

long time, no post...update (PROM)

Hi everyone,

Just a bit of history, then on to the new stuff !

I'm 40, 1st pg, diagnosed with BU. I've been monitored

closely since about 9 weeks.

Currently, I'm 34 weeks,5 days and have been in the

hospital since my water broke 10 days ago. The current

plan is to start inducing on Monday. So far, all is

well, and the baby is doing just great.

Has anyone had any experience with PROM and early

labor induction ? I'm a bit concerned as my little guy

is still going to be 5 weeks premature. I know that

statistically, I'm in a great place...but I worry

nonetheless.

I would love to hear any comments from anyone that has

had a similar situation.

Thanks !

My son was delivered at 35 weeks. My water broke and I started to hemorage.

They iduced as I did not go into labor. He was 5 lbs 10 oz and came home the

next day. My daughter also had similar problems. My water broke with her at

32 weeks and I went into labor at 33 weeks. She wasnt on oxygen, but did stay

for 22 days to learn how to eat. She was 3 lbs 15 oz. I also have a BU. Best

of wishes.

Hi there,

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I was given the steroid shots for lung development

last week. The plan is to start me on some sort of

cervix ripening agent orally tomorrow evening, then

pitocin on Monday morning. My concerns are that it

might not work...and if it does, I'll pretty much have

to stay in bed for the entire labor process. In any

case, I really just hope that the baby tolerates labor

with no problems. My understanding is that once the

fluid is gone, it gets a bit uncomfortable for them,

and cord compression or prolapse issues can happen.

Thanks again for the responses.
