I think it means they could be coming soon, but if you keep doing as they say, you can prolong it. It's important to get them to 34 weeks, but know many babies still do well if they are born earlier than that, they just need more medical attention. I had PPROM at 33+6 so I got relatively lucky and she was born the next day at 34 weeks exactly. She was on a cpap for about a day and was constantly in and out from under the bili lights. She was in the nicu for 2 weeks, but she did well. Your situation sounds similar to mine, except your water broke earlier than mine. But the closer you get to 34 weeks, the faster recovery for your babe. And probably a similar one to mine. Good luck mama! You got this!
Need advice: Ruptured membrane at 30 wks
Hi ladies,
So a wk ago yesterday my water broke. As of today I'm 32.2. I go to the hospital and they tell me it in fact did brake and my membrane ruptured (PROM) so I have been admitted and given and just finished antibiotics, baby has been given steroids to develop lungs. All my tests have came back no sign of infection. Baby is extremely active and heart rate is good. I have gestational diabetes so on my ultrasound when I was admitted he was actually weighing in at 32 wks rather then 30 at 4 pds 1 oz. They say I will be induced at 34 wks unless baby decides to come early, if so they won't stop the labor process. All last wk i was leaking fluid(clear) and now it has stopped and I have period like cramps when I'm put on the monitor, they see "discomfort" and a contraction or two and tell me to continue to hydrate and take medicine for the cramps, which makes me very tired. No bleeding or super severe pain...just pain in my lower abdomen.
So my question is with the period like cramps does that mean baby could be coming soon. I havent been pregnant for over 10 yrs and this whole experience is new to me. Does anyone have any advice? Also to note i havent lost my mucus plug either.....

I had period like cramps for about 4 days before full labor hit. Good luck mama. Check out Graham’s foundation now before you have baby (while you have time!). They have mentors to walk you through what to expect, terms and procedures of the nicu, feeding issues, and they have wonderful care packages. Keep us updated !!!My LO came at 33+4 after steroids and he didn’t need any respiratory support. He’s doing great now ❤️
