Asked by Syger (1389points) January 28th, 2010

won’t even go into details because right now i can’t think worth a damn anyway

we were talking on the phone while i was telling a story and suddenly she stop and made a small moan of pain then was silent for a while so i asked what was wrong and she moan in pain again and starting muttering obscenities toherselkf obviously scared as hell
i asked again what was wrong and she said dshe thought her water broke
she should be around 24 weeks according to the last doctor’s thing
i told her to get to the hospital, hoping she’d call ana mbulance but she said shed be fine driving so i stay on the line and did my best to talk to her about it and keep her calm i was freaking out too because it was so sudden
i promise her i would be there in a week or two no matter the cost no matter how i have to do it
and told her i would be there for her forever

then she said she was sorry for everything in tears and the phone lsot connection or something and i can’t call her back without it saying the number isn’t on or whatever it says when someone’s phone is off

what do i do?
i am so scared right now

There’s nothing to be afraid of. She may have had a miscarriage, or her water may have broken. Either way, she will recover. Call the hospital where she may have gone, or her parents or someone else who know her.

She could have just peed her pants. You really can’t tell sometimes.
Just remain calm. If you can’t get to her for another week or two, then you need to remain patient and wait for her to update you, or call a family member of hers.

I read some of your old posts. Is she still keeping it a secret from her parents? This may be a good time to talk to them.

You definitely must talk with someone you trust. When you
get back with the baby’s mother, you’ll want to have gotten some serious reassurance for yourself, so you can be a good support person.
And you need to be cared for. You’re scared and hurt. This is not surprising. But it’s not necessary. Listen to @YARNLADY.

It’s a good idea for her to be checked out, but @casheroo is right, it may not be for bag of waters.

If her water did break and she’s preterm, they’ll admit her to the hospital and give her 48 hours worth of IV medication that help’s the baby’s lungs mature a bit quicker. Ruptured membranes doesn’t always been delivery – as long as there’s no sign of infection, they would observe and hold off labor as long as they reasonably could.

I’m now the father of a beautiful (that I haven’t seen yet, but I know she is) baby girl.
o.o I don’t think the reality of what has all happened has hit me yet. She even joked about it with me after giving birth (without any sort of pain reduction).

Let me just be sure- you’re scared because you don’t know what happened and you can’t get a hold of her by phone, right? Is there someone who can go check on her until you can go? I’d imagine she’s ok. If she couldn’t drive to the hospital herself, she may have called someone to take her, or even an ambulance and may have just left the phone off the hook accidentally. Don’t fret, but continue to try to make contact. Can you call the hospital she would be at to find out more info?

Apple passed away this morning while I was at school and unable to answer my phone. I read it in a text and couldn’t stop crying through the day, after I read the text saying she had passed my phone died along with my heart. She had call shortly before begging me to call in voicemail but since it was school I had to have my phone on silent. Now I am home and I can’t stop crying not that I want to but

i don’t even know
I need a hug and there’s not really anyone I can go to to talk to or get comfort from. What can I do????

@Syger- you may not “feel” it; but we are all hugging you. Do you have a roommate, friend, some one near you, you can speak with?

Syger's avatar

no i do not

Is there someone you can call? Can you call the counseling department at your school, usually there is a crisis number.

@Syger I’m so sorry for the loss of your daughter. ((hugs))

Here is a web page with internet resources for someone dealing with a loss like yours. At least one of them is specifically for fathers. Some of them have online support forums.
