With Alexander, my water broke Thursday night, the the placental abruption began at 11pm on Saturday night. He was born 3:45am on Sunday morning. I remember my OB telling me that that first 2 weeks after rupture were the most telling. You've crossed that mark, sweetie, so, while not out of the woods, I am praying for each and every day that you see closer to full term.<br /><br />Big hugs...Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-90312510814485910422011-04-11T22:03:45.049-04:002011-04-11T22:03:45.049-04:00I'm glad your family is pitching in and hope t...I'm glad your family is pitching in and hope that they can provide some comfort and distraction, but this sounds very scary, Emily. I can definitely see why you'd rather have Brian with you. I wish with all my heart you didn't have to worry about any of it.<br /><br />Still hoping hard for you and Acorn, and sending love.ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347057746449071812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-5372989361323321742011-04-11T21:25:29.683-04:002011-04-11T21:25:29.683-04:00It was 3 days from when my water broke till I deli...It was 3 days from when my water broke till I delivered my Aidan. I had vomiting and flu-like symptoms two days after my water broke, which I thought was due to my antibiotics but maybe it was due to the infection? I had light cramping the day after that, starting around 8am and gradually intensifying, and by 7pm I had my baby boy. He died before that though - before the cramping started. I was lucky enough to get an epidural, but it only worked on my left side.<br /><br />Still thinking of you and hoping the nextfew months go by quickly and without problems (yes, I am thinking long term!).Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05660462520089424381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-75601801643562217052011-04-11T21:24:53.378-04:002011-04-11T21:24:53.378-04:00I also wanted to say that I'm so, so sorry abo...I also wanted to say that I'm so, so sorry about your beautiful Aidan, and that I'm praying to the universe for this beautiful bub in your belly.<br />xoxoChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01498901545149667223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-10492852454480138542011-04-11T21:19:41.171-04:002011-04-11T21:19:41.171-04:00I just stumbled upon your blog and while our stori...I just stumbled upon your blog and while our stories are quite different, I feel we have so much in common. My first pregnancy, I had pprom at 21+3 with fraternal twins. I didn't go into labor until 23+3 (14 days later) when I developed an infection and they wouldn't stop me.<br />This was almost exactly two years ago :(<br />Anyway, I stayed in the hospital for the first week after rupture, and then got released home. My husband (Brian!) finally had to go back to work and I was TERRIFIED. I had everything around me in bed and I was so afraid to move. I would leak all the time. I got up once a day to shower and was drinking GALLONS of water. <br />When I did go into labor, I started feeling uncomfortable/gaslike pains around 3 a.m. By 6:30 a.m. I realized I could time them. I delivered my daughter (Sophie) at 12:50 p.m. and my son (Aiden) at 1:04 p.m.<br />Please e-mail if you just want someone to talk to or if you have any questions. I did go on this summer to have a full term pregnancy, so please know that before you visit my blog (I don't talk about it much there, but I don't want you to be hurt because I know it is so hard right now).

My water broke while I was at the hospital but the nurses wouldn't let me push until my doctor got to the hospital. With no pain meds I delivered my identical twin boy's after an hour of pushing. From the time my water broke to the time I had the babies was about an hour. I am keeping you in my prayers daily and praying that God will be with you always.

We have no idea how long my water had been broken for. It was a high slow leak. I'm guessing I made it a week before infection set in.<br /><br />I'm soo glad that you've made it such an amazingly long way! <br /><br />Much love!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944360286843076465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-80952110835076110082011-04-11T18:08:04.509-04:002011-04-11T18:08:04.509-04:00My heart is with you during this time (no adjectiv...My heart is with you during this time (no adjective seems to be big enough to fit the description...terrifying, awful, sliver of hope-ful-ness). I too had an awful delivery without pain meds at 23 weeks and am traumatized, as is my husband. While I'm not going through what you are going through now, I can imagine that feeling, that fear, of it all happening again, and it makes me feel like I'm unable to breath. I'm just so so upset for you, with you. It really isn't fair.<br /><br />Take care...and I check in every day hoping for good news.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246142239742915169noreply@blogger.com
