Educating myself

So now that we were home and camping out on the couch everything started to set in. I got on the web and started researching, i didn't even know there was a name for what had happened. No one told me. It is Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes, Pprom for short. I found a special website designed just for women who had pprom'd, http://www.kanalen.org/. It explained what was happening, advice, direction, tips, other pprom stories and support. Its main statement is that I am an advocate for my baby. It turns out that some women were not given any options and were forced to terminate, Ive read some heart breaking stories where women were almost forced to. Only later to find out their child should have been given a chance. On this website there are tons of stories, alot of successful ones that i have read 2 or 3 times. Ive also found other website, blogs, and support groups. Ive learned so much and have actually got to chat with some women who are going through this right now. Its nice to have someone to relate to. From these sites, studies Ive read, and other women's stories i have made a daily routine of things that will help. I'm willing to do anything i can to help my baby have a strong fighting chance. I also wanted to see a specialist or get a second opinion and learn all options and all i could. Apparently its up to me since i wasn't told anything really by the doctors and bc i didn't know what questions to ask. So i kept researching, called Little Rock UAMS Neonatology dept., St Louis maternal fetal medicine, and St Judes Childrens Research Hospital for answers.
