loss of amniotic fluid at 18 weeks

[haredew]

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, I was wondering what happened with your situation. I am 17 weeks with twins and started leaking amniotic fluid. The fluid is low for the babies and we were told we don't they have much of a  chance.

My water broke at 15 weeks.  I had a ruptured membrane :(.  The baby is still alive.  I went to a perintologist and he told me that the pregancy needed to be terminated due to the high risk of infection.  I am 17 weeks right now..and scared!  The perintologist said the baby won't survive no matter what.  That it may make it to full term but won't live outside the womb.  I am curious what happened with your pregancy and if anyone has any comments or advice to help me.

my water broke at 18 weeks and the doctor told me that i had no other choice then to induce labor and it was the worst thing i ever had to do because a week later my body still didnt want to deliver and my baby was still alive but he told me that this is what i had to do and i regret it.finally it happened after ridiculous amounts of medicine and it was in the toilet basically my baby passed away and it was my first child and im reading all these stories of survival and it hurts i wish i would have known that there was a chance i would have left the hospital in a heartbeat and hopefully still would have had my baby boy. i didnt know it was a common thing
