PPROM at 16 weeks!
My pregnancy started off as a twin pregnancy but I sadly lost Twin A at just 12 weeks when my waters broke. Twin B was growing well at the time but 4 weeks later my waters broke for Twin B too. It was a rollercoaster journey from that point onwards as I had very little to no hope left and all the Drs kept telling me to terminate the pregnancy due to the high risks associated with practically zero fluid around baby at all scans. My baby had restricted growth so there was no hope all around. Around 27 weeks I then developed pre eclampsia and was admitted to hospital and was prepared for an emergency c section but we were able to hold off as my blood pressure had stabilised. At exactly 30 weeks the CTG monitoring was abnormal and I was taken for an emergency c section and my baby girl was born weighing just 738g which was very small for her gestation age too. She spent 8 weeks in hospital and came home on oxygen but has since been discharged from oxygen and has done so well. We haven’t had any urgent hospital visits and she is slowly growing. I just wanted to post this as I know exactly how it feels to go through this journey. Without Little Heartbeats I wouldn’t have had the strength to go through such a traumatic pregnancy. 💗

She is so beautiful, and thank God she is healthy. I don’t know why Dr’s solution is to get an abortion. My Dr. told us one of our twins may have trisomy 18 and we should abort and we said no repeatedly and thank God both of our twins were born healthy.
Oh look at her !!! What a fighter !!! Xxx
God bless you and your family especially your babygirl! Your story really moved me. I am very happy your babygirl made it to the world for you to be able to love her. I'm sorry for your loss as well. I just had an ectopic pregnancy and had to have an emergency surgery because I was found unresponsive and hadn't known my right ovaries ruptured and I had been internally bleeding for weeks . May 5th I lost my baby and I was a wreck because it was right before mother's day and 2 days before my son's 5th birthday and the day before his planned birthday party. I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to even just hang out and talk about podcasts or tips and tricks etc!
