umm my doctor told me if the water breaks, they need to get the baby out within 24 hours because of risk of infection.
You already had one, and I am not understanding why they didnt get they baby out by now. That can be dangerous.

Babies at 31 weeks have a very good change of surivival with the technology we have nowadays.

Actually no, my mum and all my aunties had what they call "dry births",yes its a little more risky when the waters break but they would rather keep the baby in there for as long as possible especialy like I said they dont think my little girl is growing very quickly.I already have a weter infection,probably due to my waters breaking but im on strong anti-biotics and they told me that theres no way that this water infection can cause her any harm at all.All I want to know is what they will do if they see she isnt growing?I didnt ask anything about my waters breaking,i already know all about that.Thanksxxxx

Oh okay smarty pants, you already know all about that, excuse me!!

If you are so concerned about your childs size why didnt you ask the doctor these questions.

Not to insult you or anything but I feel like you've missed something important or misunderstood something. If your water broke there is no way they would've left the baby in there, they usually take it out within 24 hours. Maybe your water is just leaking?

I know she said her water broke, but maybe she has a small leak???

Either way, you would think they would be monitoring you in the hospital. The risk of infection would be high considering you're only 31 weeks and you still have many weeks to go.

Get a second opinion!!! Please!!!!!

Your amniotic sac can heal if you have a leak. This can be perfectly fine.

Breaking and the giant woosh of water that follows is not fine. But I suspect you didn't have that, or you'd be in the hospital with antibiotic drip, etc.

Your mucous plug can grow back. Since you aren't due for 9 weeks, you don't want to give birth any time soon. Even with the steriod shots, there is a major risk to your child's lung development and loss of oxygen to the brain (which can cause irrepairable brain damage).

Your leak must have stopped by now. And do you mean your amniotic fluid is infected? Or you have a bladder infection? A bladder infection can cause contractions as well. But if your water actually did break, you would need to be in the hospital. Try to argue that point is fine, but we all know if your water breaks they don't send you home for a few weeks. They deliver you within 24 hours.

I'd be concerned if your baby wasn't growing. That might be problematic. But if the baby is healthy otherwise, i'm sure they'd let you continue with your pregnancy. That baby is safer inside you that outside you at this point.

Hmm I remember you as being pregnnt with twins and not making any sense...

Thats what I was thinking....

I thought she miscarried her twins. Something about pushing them out into a toilet I thought? I don't know.

following on from that makes her 31 weeks (and a few days)

I can't find any post where she mentions twins - sorry guys I might be wrong (hily is rarely wrong) but I don't ever remember having doubts about jade...

Ok - I searched the word twins and then looked through her last pregnancy posts - for which the weeks do add up.

Hun now im not trying to bash you or say the wrong things, but I had 3 premature births out of the 6 and when my water even started to leak they kept me in the hospital, and when my water broke they held me out a little over 48 hrs and I started to run a fever and they thought that I was getting an infection and they put me on strong doses of amoxicillin and etc. Then they took my baby right away and I was only 28 wks preggo at this point. They where scared that the baby would get it. So I dont know what type of doctors you have but I suggest that you get a second opinion for the sake of you and your baby.

Yeah I was remembering her story back in april she pushed one out then the other one. Were you pregnant with triplets or did you get pregnant right away????
