No Amniotic Fluid

[HarleyLady59]

My sister inlaw is a adopting a new born, the mother's didn't have any amniotic fluid for several weeks.  The baby is discolored, like a grey look, because it sat in the mother's womb without fluid.  Is this normal?  The doctor's claim that the baby is healthy.  Will the baby get her color back to normal and when?  Is there anything we should be aware of about the baby?  Would the baby have lived in species?  We are very concerned about the newborn.

Thank you,

I lost all my fluids completely at 22 weeks. Dr's offered no hope. I started to go into labor on my own but everything happened so fast I felt as though I couldnt make an informed decision, I was already 3 centimeters dialted, they said if I decided not to be induced I would be sent home & I was petrified of delivering my baby at home by myself (I have a 2 year old also)so I allowed them to induce me further. My baby had a strong heartbeat even after birth but they refused to even make a move to help him after he was born, the worst feeling in the world was watching his heart continue to beat and them not helping him, all I could do was hold him close to me & comfort him. Now that I am brave enough to research everything online, I have alot of questions for the doctors on if things could have been done differently & if it would have even made a difference.

The same exact thing happened to me, 22 weeks 3 days, no fluid. My son was born 1 lb 2 oz & we also held him for 3 hours. Im still waiting for the results of my placenta biopsy, they said they think it was an infection also. I feel as though they could have done more to try and help me & the baby especially since he was born alive and trying to live. Literally our stories are exactly the same it's scary.
