Did anyone have PROM at term? What happened with your second birth?

[CrossFreelancer]

I had PROM (premature rupture of membranes) ending in C-section.

Basically... my waters broke at 40 weeks but no contractions ever happened spontaneously... so after 36 hours of no labour, I had to be induced on the oxytocin drip.

After 12 hours of effective contractions, they tried taking me off the drip, but labour slowed and so they needed to put me back in the drip. Another 12 hrs later I had a C-section as my baby was in a bad position and I couldn't push them out.

I am pregnant with my second baby and wondering if it is likely this will happen again? Was it just fluke that this happened to me, or is it likely my body just isn't able to spontaneously labour on its own?

If it does happen, I wouldn't want to be induced- it was horrible. So I would ask for a C-section. But I would much prefer to have a natural VBAC

Yes. I had PROM with my first and an assisted vaginal delivery. Baby was back to back which I think was a big part of the problem. Second time round was an ELCS for completely unrelated reasons. But the labour had been progressing fairly quickly, reckon it would've been about 10 hours tops start to finish, and baby was in a good position.

EMCS I mean.
