Has anyone had a PPROM at 16 weeks and then gone to have successful pregnancies

[Anonymous]

We lost our baby at 16 weeks and 3 days. My cervix was closed and I didn't have any infections. The doctors couldn't understand why this happened. They reassured me that I could go ahead to have a normal pregnancy if I wanted without a risk of PPROM. I was so distraught at that time that I didn't ask many questions. Has anyone had any success with this.

I’m so sorry OP. I lost a childbirth to pProm many years ago. YEs, I later had a successful pregnancy. I got a preventive cerclage, and was on bed rest from 12-37w and went on to deliver a healthy little girl.

When I was in the hospital there were two moms in L&D who had pProm and went on to deliver.

I took NeoCell Type 1&3 Collagen supplements religiously to strengthen my bag of waters while the baby grew and also vitamin c.

Big hugs to you, and I’m so sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss. By any chance did you have a cvs? I had a cvs w/ some complications. I then had PProm at 24 weeks. My dr believes the pprom was a delayed complication from the cvs. I did go on to have 2 successful pregnancies. Good luck.

Thank you what does CVS stand for?

Not PP, but it isn’t a trans vaginal cerclage? Where they put a band in your uterus permanently before pregnancy, and future births require a c section?

*new poster*

CVS = chorionic villus sampling

TVS= trans vaginal cerclage (temporary)

TAC= trans abdominal cerclage (permanent cerclage—requires c-section) *I have a TAC after losing my twins at 22w.
