premature rupture of membranes

And I explained the calculations in the blog.

I use really conservative estimates for ectopic pregnancy, for missed miscarriage, just missed miscarriage, not all miscarriages, missed miscarriage for PPROM.

Base rate math in Texas, you're going to see about 26,000 such cases a year.

So since Dobbs, if we're saying only four years, not five, over 100,000 cases.

Yes, I

think mine was a bit switched, kind of, because during the pregnancy, when I had the PPROM, obviously, that's when we started dealing with... all these feelings and seeing motherhood as that is going to be different, that it's probably going to be different.

Obviously, I always try to hold on to that hope that there would be nothing wrong, but we were getting ready for it.

So we kind of started going through these motions whilst I was still pregnant.

I mean, you're allowed to have two.

So I used to, you know, I used to just, you think about every possibility.

And especially then with my PPROM, I had just gone abroad and I was saying, oh, maybe I shouldn't have gone abroad.

But I mean, I got the clear from my parents.

I then had hope.

I would screenshot everything on my phone for the PPROM Facebook group that I was in.

And every day sitting in the hospital, I would just read these stories of hope.

over and over again because that's what I needed and I had to believe that there was hope for her and she was a fighter and she could make it it was hard don't get me wrong it was so hard to get through every single day but so much of it was my mindset and just repeating mantras over and over again I would say Kate I would say every day pregnant is a good day every day pregnant is a good day really just train my brain over and over again to believe this and do whatever I could do to give her the best chance.
