Re: In the hospital...
Posted by orchid24
this happened to me! i was 24 weeks along when i woke up soaking wet with amniotic fluid. i went into the hospital in aug. of 2006 and was diagnosed with premature rupture of membranes. i stayed on bedrest for 8 weeks. they gave me shots to help develop the baby and i just ate and ate to help the baby grow big.
my son still came out early in oct. of 2006 (he was due in dec.) and he spent 5 wks. in the NICU. he was one of the biggest ones at 4 lbs. 5 oz.
my advice to you would be to just take it one day at a time. drink lots of fluids, eat and get a lot of rest. one doctor told me, and i still remember this, one day in the womb is like one less week in the NICU.
good luck and fm me if you need anything else!
ETA: my son is now 4 yrs. old and is relatively healthy. he has a peanut allergy and has asthma. other than that, he is catching up in height and weight to his other 4 yr. olds
this gives me so much hope. thank you so much!

Re: In the hospital...
Speak to your doctor about amniotic band syndrome!! It can be serious and is associated with low amniotic fluid!!

i'm glad! stressing out isn't going to help matters and as hard as it sounds, enjoy the time of rest! crossword puzzles, painting...-ask people to bring you things you can work on!
