loss of amniotic fluid at 18 weeks
my water broke at 18 weeks, 2 days later i started bleeding . i have had several ultrasounds the first showed less than 2oz. of fluid. the second, done the following day, showed a slight increase in fluid levels, both showed a strong heartbeat. i am on antibiotics and complete bed rest, the bleeding is very light compared to what it was, and nothing new has happened in 7 days. is it possible for the fluid to increase enough so the baby and lungs will develop properly or am i setting myself up for heartbreak? am i just waiting for my body to miscarrie, or for infection to set in, or does the baby have a chance?
i'm sorry to hear that. my daughter in law is going thru same thing. she's in the hospital we rushed her yesterday and they put her on antibiotics. babies heart beat is good. All we can do is put it on GOD's hands. she lost some amniotic fluid. I hope its seals and reproduce more.
There is DEFINITELY hope. Back in 1996 my water broke when I was exactly 16 weeks pregnant (I was also 16 years old). The doctors had no idea what had caused it. I was advised to terminate my pregnancy due to risk of a staph infection. The prognosis was very bleak. I kept faith, remained on bed rest for about 5.5 months, and carried my son to 39 weeks! He was born an absolutely healthy 7 lbs 11 oz. He is now 15 years old! He is my miracle.
Water broke at 15 weeks I am 24 weeks now
