Story added: 2007-02-13

I have had 3 PPROM pregnancies.

Vilde was my first....

I started bleeding at 8-9 weeks. We found that I had a vanishing twin, which caused the bleeding. Vilde was doing well so far...

I had a lot of braxton hicks during the pregnancy...and bleed every day. The hematoma from the twin stayed put.. I believed it caused the membranes to rupture...

At about 18 weeks I felt a gush. I believed it was blood.

At an ultrasound some days later we found very little fluid.

We got the "doom & gloom", and were stronlgy adviced to terminate... We werent ready, so we waited....for about 3 weeks...

We terminated at last, an delivered Vilde at 21w6d.... She was 420g and 27cm.
