Water broke st 18 weeks, no blood, need advice, please help

My water broke at 2:15am at 18 weeks, no blood, all amiotic fluid. I went to the hospital and was told there is little amniotic fluid left around the baby. The ultrasound revealed baby with less movement than usual, but with good heartbeat of 158.
The hospital is keeping me until "time of delivery", whether it be a live birth or still birth. I am administered antibiotic via IV at this time and have been told I cannot injest anything by mouth. This made me nervous because all other posts said to injest as much water as possible in an attempt to replenish the amniotic fluid.
I'm heartbroken, any advice would be greatly received.

Oh my! I'm so sorry you have to go thru this. I can't imagine what your going through. Please have faith and pray, you're in my prayers. Do the doctors think the baby will be fine. Hopefully the baby will be fine for a few more weeks. Are you at a good well known hospital that has a good nicu unit. Best of luck hun

Drinking water will more than likely not help. They're doing all they can to keep baby inside until delivery is an option. I wish you the best and trust your Dr. I hope baby stays put until its time.
