Hi ladies im 33+2 days and a carrier for strep b my waters went yesterday and i have been in hospital since (no contractions or pain just waters )
Im abit worried about baby’s size as we still had 6 weeks to go we’re waiting on a scan to see how much fluid is left around baby and postion estimated weight ect im glad im in the right place
Im just wondering if anyone has been through something similar and how was baby when they arrived
( Im on antibiotics every 5 hours and steroid injections every 12)

I'm sure all would be well mama. No need to worry. I tested positive for PPROM at 29+6 then was sent home after 6 days since no sign of labor or infection. I have to go in every 48hrs for ctg blood tests to ensure there is no infection. The fluid around baby might build back up since the placenta continues to produce amniotic fluid. (Mines did)
I was then admitted again at 34+5 for strep B and was sent home yesterday because baby is still doing ok and safe in there, however I have an induction at 37w.
If baby does come early then it should be okay as there's a high chance if survival at this stage. The steroid injection is to help develop the lungs and assist with survival outside of the womb.
You're definitely in the rigt place and I hope everything goes well x

thankyou hope all
Goes well for you to and little one stays put untill then ,
Im very new to this not had anything like this with my two girls so bit of a shock x

Thank you. With my first I went all the way to 41+2 so when it happened I was a bit scared and over the place but it seems to be a normal occurrence that is manageable.

My waters went at 28 + 2 and was in hospital for about 5 days - antibiotics/steroids etc I am now 32+4 and he’s still happily growing inside. I had a growth scan today and he actually has more fluid in today than he did when my waters broke as they build it back up themselves.
Your in the right place and although it seems scary and overwhelming, you have a good chance of making it a bit further along ❤️

thats really reassuring thankyou im glad im here gives a sense of security if anything does need doing ❤️
