PROM at 20 weeksDelivery at 34 weeks + 6 days.
Story added: 2001-02-26

My wife prommed at twenty weeks and we were told that she would give birth in the next 24 hrs to 2 weeks. We were told of the potential problems and decided to let God decide on our fate.

We reaccumulated enough fluid, and the baby was growing on track. We were notified by our Peri that the lung development was not good and to expect the worst.

At 34 weeks 6 days Jeanne went into labor and gave birth to our first girl. She was 5 pounds 12 ounces. She was healthy other than her lungs. The doctors tried all they could but could not get her lungs to respond. She died the next afternoon. We got to hold her, kiss her and tell her we loved her before she left us and went to heaven. We would of never done anything different. My wife and I gave our little girl the best chance at survival and it just did not work out. If anyone would like to talk we are always available.

God Bless
