My Waters Went on Monday at 22+4 :(

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience of really premature rutured membranes ?

My waters went on monday as a result of an infection i picked up having an emergency stitch put in last week.

Babys fine and the stitch is still holding, i've not gone in to labour but obviously this is a grim situation and we're likely to lose our baby boy.

I'm on some wacking great antibiotics which are making me feel hideous but i have been discharged from hospital, there is nothing mroe they can do there apparently so i am home on bedrest praying babys lungs develop and he stays put for a few more weeks to at least give him a chance.

Does anyone know anyne who has been though this ?

Wow! What great news. Congratulations WorzelMummage, my prayers are with you and little George. What a good weight and great news that he is doing so well, you did great, keeping him in from 22 weeks without amniotic fluid. Lovely xxx

Congratulations Worzel and little baby George - or not so little! Thats a really good size well done you xx

SockThing · 31/12/2008 16:53

Congratulations.

I had a little boy at 27 weeks weighing just under 2lb over 4 years ago now. He is absolutely perfect now, a real fighter. He also breathed on his own for a few days but soon tired and needed a little help for a while so please don't be disheartened if George has a few ups and downs after doing so well.

So pleased he is here and OK.

Much love XXX

I am utterly privileged and pleased as punch to share my birthday with little George.

That is absolutely wonderful news. Breathing on his own? What a clever little boy. He's a fighter, like his mum.

Wonderful. Just wonderful.

I've lurked from the start (infact since when you posted about having your stitch put in) and posted once and am now going to be late for popping out for quick New Years Eve drinks at friends house because I had to log on and check on you and ... read everyone's messages today and add my own huge enormous congratulations on the arrival of little George!!!! Wishing you all everything.

xx Eek xx.
