leaking amniotic fluid in 2nd trimester

Thank u for replying

Its my 1st pregnancy that has gone thus far ( 1st being last year a missed miscarriage at 5 weeks)

The docs are scarying the hell out of me and hubby by talking about infection and possibly getting worse to a stage I could end up taking it all out.

I don't want to terminate, but listening to doc say the sac hasn't divided into 2 parts etc could mean that its ruptured completely. We've seen a strong heart beat on the scan but very little fluid (doc didn't give any measurements either)

I leaked a lot on wednesday about 3 times, it was a lot and not trickles but somehow I'm trying to keep the faith that everything might be alright but am seldom finding myself deviating from that positivity.

Is there any reliable source that could explain when the sac divides to layers or something?

Thank u so much again for replying to my post

Firstly, if you don't want to make the decision to terminate you don't have to. If the fluid keeps leaking to the point that there is none left then there's a good chance you will go into spontaneous labour anyway. They can give antibiotics if infection occurs.

Secondly, as long as your membranes are still mostly in tact there is a chance that they will heal themselves. If it is a slow leak, there might just be a small tear in the membranes and that definitely can heal itself. Bed rest is very important.
My membranes ruptured completely at 24 weeks, like an exploding balloon, so there was no chance of that fixing itself, but provided the main amniotic sac is still mostly in tact and it's only a small tear and a slow leak then there definitely is a chance it'll heal and everything will be fine.

Sending lots of positive thoughts and hugs your way. It definitely is a very scary time indeed xx

Hi there

Need some help or info if there's any successful outcomes after leaking fluids in 20th week... Its been devastating, don't want to go into detail as its been a haunting time but would like to know if there is a light at the end of the tunnel?

Fluid is very low and docs are keeping me in hospital for observation over the weekend to see if there's any progress however if none then I have to make a decision to terminate ( which I am totally agains) but run the risk of infection to the womb if prolonged...


Pls pls help
