My water broke last Sunday night at
18wks 3 days. It is now 19weeks 3 days.
The baby is still alive and I can feel
it move. My doctor says the baby
doesn't have enough fluid for the
lungs to develop. He feels if I can
keep the baby alive, it will be born
and won't be able to breathe and will
die within 20 minutes.
My husband wants me to let them induce
labor and give up. After all, it
doesn't seem to make sense to prolong
the trauma if the baby won't survive
anyway.
Or does it?
sept 23:
After 10 days of bedrest, and constant
leaking, there was still no fluid. On
Tuesday I was dilated and part of the
sac was hanging in my vagina according
to the doctor.
I wanted there to be hope, but it
seemed futile at that point. They took
the baby on Tuesday. God didn't answer
what I prayed for the most. But he did
answer another prayer for me.. that I
wouldn't have to make that decision.
They told me at that time that it
wasn't "elective" any more.
