In today's episode I speak with a woman who was very much caught off guard by a condition called PPROM--preterm premature rupture of membranes when she was 22 weeks along.
She talks about how she managed all the twists and turns of her experience, and despite all the hard things that happened, many things made her feel lucky.
We also hear from an OB/scientist who is working on a test that can be used to predict premature birth, among other things, long before it arrives.
