In July 2013 I was 16 weeks pregnant when my waters broke. I was admitted to hospital and sat in bed for two days waiting for an inevitable miscarriage. When, after 48 hours, I had not miscarried the consultant at the hospital offered a termination. I responded that I had made the decision not to terminate and that I felt that there was hope for the baby. The consultant told me that I was making an emotional decision and that I should speak to my husband who may be less emotional. I was discharged, and two weeks later a scan showed that my waters had replenished. I carried the baby until I was 33 weeks pregnant, and gave birth to a healthy boy, Leo in January 2014. Reading these stories was a life saver for me. I read the sad and happy stories and should I have lost my baby I am sure reading them would have helped prepare me. Thank god though I had a wonderful ending, and I hope whoever is reading this will too.
