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?

I am 18 weeks and 2 day with twins,water broke for the first twin 2 days ago at 18 weeks exactly, other twin is ok. I had doctors appointment same day in the morning and everything was fine.I think the leak has stopped. My doctor said there is still a little water , both heartbeat are ok. The doctor said he will watch as event unfold. I'm on antibiotics. Does anybody have this same story and delivered the twins alive.

I have the Cercelage stitches in right now and just hit 20 weeks today...this was due to 2 still births I feel so much more confident and the DR has also got me taking Progesterone as well to be completly safe..I'm at work right now as we speak and feel completly normal...bubby is kicking and doing summersaults...I reccomende the stitch it is a day procedure I had real minor bleeding after the stitch and then no cramping or bleeding the next day or since...Have had it in since 12 weeks now. I feel way less pressur on my cervix and have even started to buy things for our lil one...There is a lot of negitive things about the stitch but none of those cautions have occured for me or many other people I know...Once I have hit 25 weeks we go from been high risk to normal pregnancy and they remove the stitch between 36-37 weeks. I would do it over if I had to...HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!! Hope all goes well Ladies God bless and stay positive...so easy to think the worst trust me my goal is 25 weeks the 32 then 37.
