Unbelieveable story!!

[tickle]

I have been following the story of a lady on another site, it's a long one so bare with me.
Basically, she experienced PROM at 18 weeks, a full gush. She managed to keep away infection and keep that little bubba going until 30 weeks. That is unbelievable in its self!! But as the 12 weeks went on she had continuing leakage and no significant re accumulation of fluids. The doctors basically said there was no hope as the baby can't practice breathing and that his little lungs would be hard from having no fluid.
This lady is super strong and had hope. At 28 weeks she told the dr's she wanted steroid injections (is that what they give, I think that's right), to help the little babies lungs out. The doctors said there was no point but she wanted to anyway.
The baby was born via c/section and is now a week old. They are slowly weaning him off a ventilator.
I know I haven't done this lady's story justice but I thought that it was amazing.

Wow I didn't think it would be possible for a baby to survive that long after her waters breaking thats absolutely amazing. I've never heard anything like it before.was this in Australia? I wonder how the bub survived in there?

A very similar thing happened to my SIL when she was about 20weeks. The Drs told her there was almost no chance the baby would survive. She was in hospital on complete bed rest for a few mths and she managed to produce mose fluid and carry the baby to term.

It's an American lady on the Babycenter site.
It just goes to show there is still hope even after the doctors say there is none.
