AbruptionFrom: Jill (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 25 Sep 2000 10:40:30 -0500 (CDT)
I recently gave birth prematurly at 31 weeks gestation. I had PROM at 29 weeks and was hospitalized and given steroids and tributaline to stop contractions. I began to have what I thought were contractions (although the nurses didn't think so and they did not appear on the monitor)about 2 days before I began to bleed heavily. At that point, I had an emergency c-section under general anesthetic. I barely escaped a transfusion and am told that I have a bicornuate uterus (did not know this). Due to the bicornuate uterus, I had a classical incision. My mother took a drug when pregnant with me to prevent a miscarriage (she doesn't know if it was DES or not). I have been told that I can get pregnant again, and that I would most likely have another premature baby, would most likely spend a great amount of time on bed rest and on meds and would most likely abrupt again. Doesn't seem like something I want to do again, although my husband and I very much want to have more than one child. Am struggling with the decision. Also I am 32 years old and we were hoping to have our children close together. How long should a person like me wait before trying again (assuming I decide to do so)?
