i have been leaking from sunday and placenta is working fine so they say waters have went they use steroids coz of the c section as natural birth the lungs squeez on way out but with section they dont so best to make babys lungs as mature as possible

So your water didn't break - your baby has just stopped producing amniotic fluid?  

You are so close to term I'm kind of surprised they're using steroids - 38 weeks is considered full term.

I guess they're being extra cautious!

Best wishes - sounds like it will be very soon!

I would think they wouldn't wait long at all to deliver, especially if they don't know how long the fluids have been out. That doesn't seem safe to wait that long.

In the Uk if your waters are gone they have to deliver the baby within 24hours and normally you have to have antibiotics because there is a risk of infection once waters have gone.Hope they have sorted something out for you and goodluck

No fluid is not safe for baby. I'm sure they will move it up. Get packing!

I would think almost for sure they'll move up your surgery.  Especially since they really don't know how long the baby has been without amniotic fluid.

No I sorry this hasn't happened to me. If your water has broken you
Should be delivered soon because of chance of infection. What did the dr say?
