First of all , thanks for such a nice and useful site which helps the people like me whom suffer from PROM . I had it without any sign when i was in the restroom . I was at work that day and at noon it happens . I was really shocked and crying a lot because it was my first pregnancy and after 5 years infertility . My daughter is going to be through a natural pregnancy ( without any medical efforts)
and we were happy and feeling that sad time is passed .
My angel was alive for 10 minutes after she was born . The doctor told us without doubts you have to terminate PG.Anyway, I have a lot of questions in my mind . Apart from infection & incompetent cervix , what causes PROM ? Can long sitting cause PROM ? I am software engineer and have to sit in front of PC more than 5 hours a day .
I will appreciate you if u advice me . My another worriment is about the probability of having another pregnancy . Is vaginal delivery help the fertility ?
By the way , when i was watching the photo gallery , i realized that many of the queens are fat women . Is the obesity a reason for PROM ?
