Positive PPROM stories

Been diagnosed with PPROM at 24+6 weeks. Completely out of my depth after having 3 straightforward pregnancies with no completions! I’ve been given steroids and am not having any contractions atm so I’m thinking they will let me go home soon with extra monitoring. Just looking for some positive stories and advice

Prom at 23 was slowly trickling each day and had baby at 27+3 she’s 7 months now 💕

Hydrate and have lots of protein that helped baby grow despite low fluid also rest up

Hey lovely. I hope you’re ok and just hang in there you’ll be ok x My waters broke at 16 weeks and I had my baby girl at 30 weeks due to pre eclampsia so I could’ve gone further if it wasn’t for the pre eclampsia, I was very high risk as I had practically lost all my waters. It was very hard to see baby in the scans and she was very very small due to my placenta being crap. She’s turning 2 in June.. she’s small but gosh she is a little madam

You’re already 24 weeks which is past viability and if you’ve still got a good amount of fluid that’s really good.. the more I was moving around the more i would leak so I do believe that resting helped xx if you have any questions feel free to ask away xx

I had PPROM full rupture at 17 weeks and had my son at 27 weeks. He's now 9 months 🥰
I read somewhere that coke zero contains a sweetener linked to too much amniotic fluid so I had one s day! Otherwise rest and connect with your little one. Praying for you 💓

I had PPROM at 27 weeks and managed to keep him in until 36 weeks to the day!!! Just take it steady as you can xxx

I also remember being given the mag drip as i delivered at 30 weeks so I think if you do end up delivering early then they should be giving that to you too so it’s all just a bit of a waiting game to see how it all goes but it’s always good to ask as many questions as you have xx I’d also mention to them that you want to visit the NICU and maybe have a chat with a Dr from the NICU as that’s what I did and it put me a lot of ease xx
