Low amniotic fluid

[Rachaelrix86]

Anyone on here have any success stories from low/no amniotic fluid at 21 weeks??

Yes don't give up my daughter was born 13 weeks prem all doctors told me to give up one even offered me an abortion at 23 weeks I'd been bleeding since 12 weeks and loosing waters since 17 weeks she's now a 17 year old girl and very happy not a thing wrong with her and they told me she would be brain damaged due to she would need ventilated because her lungs wouldn't. Be good due to low waters she was born breathing in air and only needed oxygen after a week cos she got tired.

Rest don't do a thing get to 24 weeks then anything over that is a bonus good luck x

Thank you it's so hard to be hopeful when they tell you all the bad stuff an every niggle pain I'm panicking it's early labour it's so hard not knowing what will happen trying to rest as much as I can x

I spent 10 weeks in hospital as my placenta was bleeding constantly as well you only have 3 weeks till they have a legal duty to the baby as well and if it's a case of baby is better out than in they will deliver and scbu do amazing things they will start giving you steroid injections for babies lungs from 24 weeks keep strong and rest x

How did u feel when it was all happening I don't know what's normal or not I've been keeping an eye on temp an bp an got check tomorrow just don't feel great but dunno if its the antibiotics

[Natalie28]

Antibiotics probably ain't making you feel good I wasn't on antibiotics but I was kept in hospital for risk of infection I never got one luckily

I did keep getting contractions and was taken to delivery a few times but it wasn't labour my water levels did keep building up but as fast as it was building up it was leaking again

Honestly you will be fine my daughter is and that was 17 years ago you imagine how much better neonatal have got since then just rest x
