I am 27 weeks exactly tomorrow. I have been wondering when or if they will induce me or do a c-section. Nobody at the hospital has mentioned intervening. I think they try not to unless they have to. I see my consultant next Tuesday. I am going to ask then if they will do anything if I don't go into labour in the next few weeks. One of the doctors gave me a paper by RCOG when I was in hospital about treatment of women in my condition and there was some debate there about whether to induce women at 34 weeks or not. I will see what they say
When people ask how I am I reply "okay" but the truth is I have a new okay, a sub-standard one compared to my old okay. Why? My second pregnancy was complicated by preterm Premature Rupture of the Membranes (pPROM) at just over 21 weeks resulting in the death of my son at just over 31 weeks. Since then I have had two miscarriages. This is the continuing story of my new okay.

Ramblings of a pPROM Mum
Yesterday my main concern was lack of movements from the baby. Felt some movement but not a lot. Not regular repetitive kicks etc. I worry I won't pick up lack of movement because of distress in time for anyone to help him. I feel no pain though. That is good. The day before yesterday I had achy period like pain from lunchtime until bedtime. Tried sleeping and paracetamol but the pain continued. I did feel the baby move more that day so maybe there is a correlation there?
M is in Nursery. Love him loads. He is amazing, so precious. This pregnancy makes me think I was very lucky to have him.
I am feeling okay today.
Hospital appointment this morning. They did a scan. Could only find 2 pockets of amniotic fluid, but at least there was some. Should be 4 pockets.... Took blood, did swab. All results from last time are okay. No strep b or Candida - yet. I have had both of these since my waters broke. I had my first trace, baby's heart was okay roughly 140 beats per minute. Felt him move a bit today.
