My friend had a scan today an she found out the baby doesnt hav any fluid around it. She was also told the placenta is not feeding the baby. she is only 22weeks an we are both very scared. What I need to know is has anyone been through this an can the baby survive without any fluid around the baby. Plz reply.

Im so sorry... I m not sure abt placenta but abt low fluids she can try drinking asmuch water as she can... I knw its tough... Baby born at this stage has very less survival rate as they still need fluid to breathe through lungs... However u never know.. If babys a fighter thn he/she might put up with it... She ll be in my prayers...

I'm honestly not sure about the placenta, if there's anything they can do to correct that problem, and if it's been long enough without the placenta working it may have already caused issues with the baby. Did her water break, was she leaking fluids? I would make sure she's staying very, very hydrated and good luck to her, I hope everything turns out well!!

In 20+5 today and was just told yesterday that my fluids are low now I gotta get another ultrasound and find everything out for sure. I was told bedrest, drinks a min of 4 16oz of water, and try to stay stress free. I'm so sorry to hear this and I hope everything works out

My cousin was born prematurely due to her placenta not working properly, she wasnt growing at all, my aunty was told she could have her prem and have a chance of her surviving or carry her full term and have a still born :( not a very nice choice to make. My aunty chose to have her early. She was 1lbs 11ozs but died at 4 days old.
We are talking 10 years ago tho and medical help has progressed 10 fold since then. Just pray that god is behind that baby and ur friend x

I am not a doctor by any means, but I agree that she should try the TONS of water, and to stay off her feet.  If she isn't on bedrest now, and she works, I'd ask the doctor to write up paperwork asking for her to be excused from work for bed rest.  I just wouldn't take any chances.  I would also advise her to just make sure to continue to take her vitamins.

I hate hearing stories like this...if she can hold out until the baby is at least 26 to 27 weeks, the chances of the baby surviving are pretty good.  It will be tough and the baby would be in NICU for a while, but like I said, the chances of survival would be pretty good.  It's amazing how much technology has advanced...

Hi guys she want to the doc an they said samething no fluid an placenta is not feeding the baby soo the baby is really small. The doc said she can terminate the pregnancy or wait until the baby die. There is nothing they can do. She has decided to leave it all in gods hands she will carry the baby an hope for the best. The doc decided to than say you will hav a scan in 2weeks time soo dont panic if you dont see a heartbeat coz we warned you..she is soo sad an all over the place bt she has to stay strong for her lil man. Keep her in ya thoughts an pray for her an the baby. I hope allah gives her a merical.ameen
