Frankie born 33 weeks + 5 days

My story of PPROM by Cherelle Stodart.

Frankie is our PPROM miracle and doing really well and weighs 12lb at 10 weeks old.

My waters broke at 23+5. Full rupture. Only one pocket of fluid at 1cm left. I was told would be best to terminate, as the outlook would be bleak. I refused.

I had bleeding start from early pregnancy, the cause couldn't be found.

Bleeding then got worse after my waters went, and I was admitted a few times with it as they thought it was the beginning of Labour.

I was monitored closely in the hospital for a week but it wasn't Labour.

Sent home and attended my twice weekly appointment, as usual, to have blood's ect taken.

My consultant wanted me to get to term but I wasn't happy about it and voiced my concerns, it was only when I was admitted the second time with a large bleed that he agreed I would have to be induced at 34 weeks.

But two days before I was due to be induced I woke in early hours with wet boobs and extremely heavy bleeding. I then realised I was in Labour. And called an ambulance.

I had a blood transfusion and antibiotics via a drip. I delivered him that day at 33+5 exactly 10 weeks after PPROM.

He was in intensive care for 3 weeks but is as healthy as can be.
