No amniotic fluid at 18 weeks.

[VeronicaGB]

I am 18 weeks pregnant, I found out today during an ultrasound that I have no amniotic fluid arond my baby. I belive that I have been leaking for the past week. I have been referred to a specialist, whom I wont see for a few days. The dr told me to drink plenty of fluids until I am seen .I believe in God, but I was told I might have to make a tough descision. I dont believe in abortion and I feel to terminate will be a form of that sort. Does anyone have any experience they would like to share or maybe some suggestions? Please and thankyou in advance.

Did the fluid have any kind of color?

No I spotted my first 3 months, but just recently felt extra wetness. My baby has a normal heartbeat and I feel them moving around.

Drink LOTS of water, put yourself on bestest and limit your activity. I suggest drinking water 24/7... It should help build up your fluid levels. And of course pray :) good luck mama.

I hope everything is okay..
I know how stressful it could be...
When I was 18 weeks pregnant during the anatomy ultrasound the tech found calcium deposit in my baby heart a sign for DS ( down syndrome) I was refere to the genetic clinic ...they ask me to do the amnio but I refuse because of the high risk .. I got counciling and a 2d /3d/4d split screen ultrasound ... The specialist said that he had a good profile.. My baby had hiccups and was already facing down at 22 weeks.. ...I just pray for my baby to be okay ... I'm Catholic and I have 2 special prayer in my journal  The prayer is called prayer for expecting mothers...I saved this prayer in my iPhone notes and when I was in labor I kept reading this prayers..Thank god my baby was healthy .... 
X best of wishes ...

I m so sorry u r going through this...  i know how scary that is...

I had really bad cramps n my doctor suggested tht i should keep an eye on bleeding or fluid... I spoke to my doc this week asking him to tell me difference between normal discharge n fluid... He didnt evn answer me properly just said its going to gave some sort of blood init....


Now i had to mke an appointment with my midwife next week coz i m not getting ny straight answers... N they wont do a scan until i m 20wks... But one thing my doctor did suggested that i should be drinking more than 3 liters everyday... So keep drinking water i m sure everything will be fine... Best of luck n take cares....
