I'm glad you didnt terminate. Miracles do happen. I knew someone who had a baby this early and now the baby is almost 2 and doing perfectly fine and growing normal. :) keep your hopes up.

You need to drink fluids and stay on bed rest if possible. When j say drink fluids I mean 8-16 oz every hour to hour and half.

My water broke at 33 weeks and a dr not my dr sent me home and it set up infection in the amniotic fluid. .. but I have heard of this happening this early in pregnancy the woman never took baths or went swimming because 5 he water can flow in and push bacteria inside you she kept herself really clean down there to help prevent and bacteria and her baby was born just fine early but healthy so I believe with prayer and support and close guidance from your dr that everything can be just fine... I would drink lots of water bc your body will dehydrate fast bc the baby will be pulling everything it can to keep the fluid levels where they need to be.. I wish I would have know what was really going on but I trusted the dr and my baby was born a week after my water broke and I stayed dehydrated that whole week... I pray the best for you in your little one...

With your water being broke you and baby are at risk of infections also this means your amniotic sac has ruptured and the fluids that's needed for your baby's lung tissue to form properly isn't there which can cause a difficulty in breathing  also can cause injury to the umbilical cord. Go to the er it's pretty serious! Good luck
