in 2nd Trimester

from one week to another, my amniotic fluid almost disappered.  Been in the hospital for 5 days.  They thought I ruptured, but ended up not.  They arent sure, it might be a tear. I am drinking a ton of fluid to try to help replenish.

 docs arent sure.

can anyone share their story??

    With my last pregnancy, with my twins, I ruptured at 17 weeks. Have they tested to see if you are leaking amniotic fluid?? That is strange that they aren't sure. After my rupture I was sent home on strict bedrest (I could only get up to shower every few days) and told to drink lots of water. I was drinking atleast a gallon a day. If it is a tear, I know it can reeal itself. I would think you should be feeling some leaking. Sorry you have to go through this, Good luck! Let me know if I can help anymore, I would be happy to answer questions and share more about my experience.

    thanks! i have totally been leaking mixed fluids for almost two months. the fluid didnt look low until a little over a week ago out of the blue. so something happened.. but the can still see membran in between my twins and my babies are still moving ALOT and heartbeats are still good thank god..

    i have been in the hospital since we found it pretty much... might be here another week and then home..

    cant really do the test for amnio fluid b/c of the blood and other stuff...and i was on iv for a few days and now just drink a ton of fluids alllllll dayyyyyy..

    Hi again. I havent' been on here for ages b/c after my last post, i went into labor on sept 17th and gave birth to my twins sept 18th. My littler girl weighed 490 grams and my little boy weighed 480 grams, both were natural.  My little ones were in NICU right away of course, they were very permature. It ended up being 23 weeks 4 days at birth.  I gave birth on sat, and the tues before they gave me the steroid shot, and two days later antiobiotics. I was admitted into hospital a week before my contractions start to the day.  exactly a week after they saw my fluid was gone.  It turns out my little girls was ruptured, they couldnt tell where it was coming from before.

    My babies fought really hard for their lives.  The NICU did everything possible.  Tony Jr was alive for 16 days and passed on oCT 4. Angelina Rose was alive for 26 days, and passed oct 14th.  What a heartache.  With all the illnesses and medical conditions, the lungs just didnt grow and get better.  Their bodies, both of them, or the lungs, couldnt get the oxygen to the rest of the bodies.  The docs didnt think they were going to last a day, and my little fighters showed them.  We got to spend every day with out babies and helped with their care.  People say that is a blessing.. I'm not so sure sometimes. I think it makes it harder to deal once you get to "be a mom". even for a short period of time.  People say we are dealing very well with it, I think it's just getting hidden in my brain somewhere and will show 100 at any given moment.  I am trying to move on, but then feel guilty about trying not to think about it.  I think about them all the time, and I have my moments when I freak out in hysterical tears or just cry in the middle of no where.  people say time will heal, I just dont know.  I dont mean to block it out, it just sort of happens. 

     

    how did you get through it??people say lean on family, but the only i seem to  be able to lean on is my hubby, and thanks you for him.  I can't seem to get close to family during this. I jsut get mad and agitated for some reason.  I'm content dealing with this with my husband.  I find it a very private matter and don't really want to deal with anyone else regarding this..

     

    thnx for listeniing, (
