Hoping for some positive stories or reassurance!
I had a small leak this morning so went to the hospital fully expecting them to tell me it was just discharge or something, they examined me and said they could see no further fluid leaking but would run tests to see if my waters had broken. The tests came back as positive so have now been transferred to another more specialised neonatal hospital to be monitored. All the doctors and midwifes seem to have different views so I am feeling very confused at what will happen next. A scan showed the baby to still have a good amount of water surrounding her.
The consultant said I will be monitored throughout and may be delivered earlier at 34/36 weeks but the paediatrician explained the babies chances at this gestation and they are giving me steroid injections and antibiotics incase of possible labour. Am I likely to continue to term or do most women go into early labour after this?
