Thoughts and prayers going out your way! One of my former coworkers had the same thing happen around 24 weeks. She ended up delivering at 27 weeks..and after a nicu stay their baby is doing great!
Thoughts and prayers are with you. I know a few people who have started a hospital stay for various reasons around 22-24 weeks and all have healthy babies/kids now!
I had PPROM at 29+6 back in December. I was on hospital bed rest for 4 weeks but made it to my 34 week induction. My LO was in the nicu for about 2 weeks but is now a healthy and happy 4 month old. She's a little small for her age but otherwise you'd never know she is a preemie.
PPROM is terrifying, try to stay off the internet! Google is not your friend. Many women go on to have healthy babies. If you make it through the first 48 hours and then the first week you have a much greater chance of making it all the way.
The biggest risk is infection, so I was super careful about hygiene and cleanliness, drank lots of water, and only got out of bed to shower. I knitted, colored, read, slept, and watched all the hgtv. Visitors help a lot and I got friendly with the nurses, which helped it feel less lonely.
My last piece of advice is to make a plan for support after the birth. HBR, NICU, and quarantine at home left me super depleted and PPD hit me hard. I had a lot of feelings of loss and anger, which I think is common in this situation. Therapy helped and I'm doing much better.
Sorry for the novel but I had never met anyone with PPROM before it happened to me and i was hungry for reassurance. Feel free to pm me if you would like. Good luck!
Hi! I was pprom with my twins at 29+5 and they told me I would definitely deliver within 72 hours! However, I didn't, they induced me at 34 weeks because of the risks of pprom and I delivered two healthy babies! I did have to stay in the hospital the whole time though. Take it easy and have your LO bring a ton of stuff for you to do (I finished a grad class and sewed a Christmas stocking). It is well worth following doctors orders! Good luck and let me know if you need to talk!
Been thinking about you! Hope you and your LO are doing okay!
