I am 28 weeks pregnant with my second child. I gave birth to my first child at 33 weeks due to spontaneous rupture of my membrane (water breaking). They’ll never know for sure why, but my doctor suspects it’s related to my hEDS.

Has anyone else had this experience? Is there anything preventative you can do? I am on pelvic rest for the rest of my pregnancy, but I am so nervous it’s going to happen again. I was asleep when my water broke last time, so I’m not even sure how helpful pelvic rest will actually be. We were in the NICU for almost 6 weeks with our first, and it is not an experience I want to repeat (so much so that we almost didn’t try for a second).
