22 weeks pregnant water broke

Hello ladies im devostated i am 22 weeks and doctors say my water broke they said i have a 0% chance of my daughter survivng they were very cruel to tell me i should terminate my pregnancy but i will not!! I have hope that nothing happeneds and i dont go into labor and they can give me medication to stop labor and keep my daughter in me for a couple more weeks. Anyone been tru this and had a healthy baby i know that at 24 weeks its risky but i still have faith everything will be ok

At least you got a second opinion. Rather than let the first cruel answer be your last. I pray your baby makes it. I know your baby will. Keep strong. A mother's love can get a baby through so much.

I wish you all the luck in the world! My waters broke when I was 18 weeks due to me contracting Parvovirus (fine for anyone but fatal for unborn babies). I was on struck bed rest and my lil man hung on for 2 weeks but unfortunately I went into labour at 20 weeks and by the time I was moved to labour ward he was sadly no longer with us. I have heard of women who's waters break as early as 18 weeks and they pull through, it just all really depends in why the broke and how healthy bubba is. The doctors told me to terminate aswel (they Def do lack sympathy with these situations but) but in refused to and let my lil man have his own chance to fight. I really do wish you luck.

Praying for you & baby. I can't even imagined how terrified you must be. You made the right choice by saying you will keep her.

I had a friend go through this and guess what! They held the baby off long enough to make it. After 3-4 long months in the hospital mommy and baby are now home living a normal life. Miracles do happen don't give up hope.

This happened to me in 2007. I was 21 weeks and 6 days along with what I thought would be my first baby girl. Prior to that time I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. Was given meds to cure it but it did not work. My water broke in the middle of the night. Rushed to the e r and also received the harsh news that baby would not survive. I immediately started contractions naturally and delivered a one pound baby girl. Babies are just too small to survive. Praying for you

There is medication that they can give you to stop labor! My nieces mom went through the same thing 13 years ago they put her in the hospital and put her on medication to stop labor and soon as she was in the clear to go ahead and have her they stopped the medication and a couple hours later she was born.. Make them hospitalize you and put you on the medication if anything go to a different hospital! You and your baby are in my prayers good luck honey! Keep your head held high you're a strong woman and you'll get through this!

I went through something like this at 22 weeks. My doctors told me my baby wouldn't survive. And they put me on strict bedrest. I'm only allowed to use the bathroom and take a shower. Can't even get food for myself... but I've made it 7 weeks. And with the help of medication to stop labor my cervix thickened back out and i haven't dilated since. Hang in there hun... I know it's hard. Prayers for you and baby! ♡

Drink lots of water. Like almost double what you where drinking before. This happened to someone I know she drink lots of water to make sure her amniotic fluid didn't completely dry out. And go on STRICT bed rest. Just try to hold her in at least 3 more weeks... prayers going up

Bed rest and try to relax if tests came back neg chances are its not ur water breaking. You could be having cramps from stressing. The more you think about it and convince yourself that could be happening the more your mind will trigger these things to happen and it will seem like you have symptoms. Like when you have all the signs u are pregnant but arnt for example. But if you are concerned see an obstretition they know more about pregnancy and babys

I had leaking fluid with my first starting at 28 weeks I carried to full term by staying on strick bed rest. I would only get out of bed to use the bathroom, get something to eat or take a 5 min shower. I drank a ton of water. I'll keep you in my prayers!
