At 11 & 18 weeks massive bleedings. Were afraid for a miscarriage, but baby did ok!. At 21 weeks my water broke. At the hospital they questioned me, and thought that it could also be urine. (only 1 pocket of 3 cm water left on ultrasound)They send me home, and I kept on loosing water every night. I did my normal things with my other kids (this is my third child), but kept telling the doctors that i was losing fluid every day. After three weeks walked in the hospital again and a new doctor checked me. No fluid detected, but 3 cm fluid on the ultrasound was enough reason to send me to a specialized hospital with a NICU. Spend in total 8 weeks in the hospital till my son was in such a position (breech) that I could stay the last weeks at home. Induced at 37 weeks and delivered a healty boy. During the pregnancy no more AF messured than 7 cm. He only needed some antibiotics after his birth, but he is healty. And weighing 3 kg with 37 weeks he grew like a normal baby as well. For everybody in the same position good luck and it is all worth it!
