### input:
My name is Scholarstica from Nigeria. I m a female & I m 30 yrs old. I am 11 weeks 3 days pregnant. Recently, I started having this terrible headaches & dry throat. I take water as much as I can & I don t get to urinate as often. I spit a lot too & that be very embarrassing sometimes. I ve visited my doctor twice but he just gave me folic acids & gave me another appointment on the 17th of march. This is my 2nd pregnancy, my 1st daughter was born prematurely at 32 weeks & it was a normal delivery. Though my bag of water broke 3 days before the baby arrived & the doctor that I was seeing then kept telling me it was nothing, that maybe the baby was on my bladder. Until the day I almost fainted on the road & was rushed to the hospital by a good Nigerian. After some hrs the baby came & weighed 1.6kg, she stayed in the incubator for almost 4 weeks. She s now 2yrs 4 months but have not started standing nor walking. But she s a very brilliant & smart kid. Pls I ll want you to assist me by telling me I should do cause I wouldn t want to have any other problem with this pregnancy. Thank You very much.

Hi there,What you underwent in last pregnancy is premature rupture of membranes which led to a preterm delivery, which can have long term effects on the baby. If you have had a preterm baby in a previous pregnancy, you are also more likely to have another preterm in this pregnancy. You will need to take precautions for the same, if at any time you have a urine infection or vaginal infection in this pregnancy get immediate treatment for the same. Infection is one of the most common and avoidable causes of rupture of membranes and preterm birth.Also, you need to check for the length of the cervix (neck of the womb) from the 3rd month on wards if at any point it starts opening or measures less than 2.5 CMS you should consider a procedure called cervical circle where they tie a suture at the neck of the womb to prevent further opening.Also, if you start having pains take the steroid dose for the optimal lung development of the baby. Hope this helps. Regards.
