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?
Hi my name is Shay. I am currently 17weeks and 2 days pregnant. My water broke yesterday morning around 9am. It gushed out and therw was alot of blood that came out. I went to the hospital and the did an ultrasound and to my surprise the baby was still in there with a heart beat of 150. I am currently in the hospital on bed rest. My doctor said he wanted to monitor me and see if I go into active labor. There's no amniotic fluid surrounding my baby and I'm constantly urinating out blood clots and blood. I love my little baby so much and am just hoping he/ she can remain strong for at least 10weeks. My mom and friends have been doing a lot of praying. My fiance also left me at the hospital when he thought I misscarried to go hangout with his family. So not only am I stressing about. my baby I'm hurt I have no support from my boyfriend and his family. My doctor doesn't think my outcome looks good. He said I would have to be on bed rest for months and just hope that I don't get an infection or go into labor. Any positive experiences are more than welcome.
I was prom at 18weeks, I've now 25weeks and Babys still growing how she should.. she gets her foot in abit of a tangle at times.. I have had lots of bleeds and braxton hicks contraction since I was prom.. but doctors and myself are hopefully that ill go to 30weeks at least.. positive thoughts always
Hey so what happened, as I am in the same situation
Kaza10, you are not alone, trust me.
I too had the almost same thing happen to me in July 2011.
Low Paap A. High risk NT results 1:10 T21 because of it, Ultrasound was perfect at 11.5 weeks.
I was going to have a Amnio at 15 weeks, as concerned about the risk results.
I starting bleeding at 14 weeks and went to the emergency dept. I had ultrasound the next morning and they discovered low fluid. I do not recall leaking any fluid during the pregnancy. I was put on Antibiotics and told to see if any fluid re-accumulated when we go to do the amnio appointment. Unfortunately the amnio it could not be done because the remainder of fluid had disappeared. There was no fluid at all, but a strong heartbeat.
I had to terminate my baby boy at 16wks, 4 days. It is by far the worst experience of my life.
I have a 2.5 yr old girl, I am trying again to get pregnant again, I am nervous that this may happen again, and I know I will be worried until I get to full term and the baby is born breathing.
It does get easier to carry on, but you never forget.

My water broke at 23 weeks and i been in the hospital for 20 days and still no baby i just have to wait for my bundle of joy
I had a hymrage that lasted from my second month until my fourth month.My water has been broken since 18 weeks without sealing over i am now a few days shy of being 29 weeks and started having some bleeding and contractions 15 min apart...my babies heartbeat during these two days of bleeding and having pains started slowing and then speeding up. Her normal heartbeat stayed around 145 when she was moving and 125 when she was in sleep mode..she had went down to 60 for one whole minute then started going to 170 and 180..after a few days of fluid and not moving at all out of the bed she went back to her normal heartbeat and kicking...my goal is to at least make it to 34 weeks right now . I had not been abusing any kind of drug, working, or having any kind of stress. The only problem i had was smoking, and i brought it from a pack to one cig and now to a patch every once in a while.I find it hard to believe that people have normal babies with no problems abuse n all that they do and being 24 years old and having no health problems I have to go through so much.
