I had M/C in Aug 1987 and waiting the normal 3 months to get
pg again. I did get pg immediately. I never had any m/s. I was gaining weight normally. I felt wonderful. I did not
work outside of the home so I was not under a lot of stress.

Well one day at normal time I decided to take my afternoon nap and that's when it happened. My water broke. I thought I had urinated on myself. When I figured out what happened I got very scared. I had just lost one baby and now this.

I went to the hospital and within 5 days my son was born. He was 2lbs and 13ozs. I can honestly say I was one of the lucky ones. My child was not sick only small. He was in the NICU for 6 weeks and got to come home on my Birthday July 31.

Today he is 12 years old and 140 lbs.
Never would know he was a preemie.
