Michelle Dewberry Instagram – Starting my weekend, as I start every other day…With a fetal heart monitoring scan (CTG).
.
.
I have a minimum of three of these a day now and can be on them for anything from half an hour, to a couple hours (or more!) depending on what/how baby is doing.
.
.
One of the main questions with PPROM is when to deliver the baby. When is baby better out, than in?
.
.
With a ‘normal’ pregnancy, the answer to that question is obviously ‘keep them in for as long as possible’, but with PPROM it becomes different. It’s a constant balancing act of weighing up the risk (of infection etc) versus the risk of prematurity and the complications that brings. Hence every day is a series of monitoring and observations, looking for signs of infection and/or other issues.
.
.
It is a situation which can change daily, sometimes even hourly and it can be a real rollercoaster, that’s for sure 🤯
.
.
I’m sharing this journey to show that not every pregnancy is ‘insta-perfect’, not everything goes well and if you’re having problems, you’re not on your own. Stay strong mammas, you got this 🙌🏻👊🏻💪🏻
