Waters have gone at 11 weeks but baby still has a heartbeat

So my waters have broken and I’ve had five hours of contractions. The baby, is through some miracle still alive - but the prognosis Is very very poor. It’s basically curled up In a little ball in the little bit of fluid that is still there. I go back in a week and if I haven’t miscarried already and the heart has stopped they will give me pills to speed it all up and I will be admitted to miscarry in hospital. I can’t take pills now as it still has a heartbeat. Just days away from my twelve week scan. Really can’t believe this has happened.

Looking for any advice at all. Is there anything I can do to help replace the fluid? Do I need to accept the inevitable? I had a mc in October at 5 weeks - what should I prepare myself for at almost 12?

I'm just heartbroken and doing all appointments alone because of the current situation.

Bless you both, take care.
I had similar symptoms at about the same time and was admitted for a D&C. Luckily they scanned first and there was a strong heartbeat.
Turns out I'd lost a twin.
The remaining little fighter was born at 29 weeks.
She's 32 now

I know this might sound stupid and it won't make a medical difference, but can I gently suggest talking to your baby?

Telling them all the things you want to tell them, whether this turns out to be your only chance or whether you get your miracle and you're still repeating it to him or her on their fiftieth birthday.

I very much hope that it's the latter. Flowers

Have you tried the website little hearbeats, it was set up with PProm in mind and maybe you can find useful information and support there. I’m sorry you’re going through this OP - good luck to you and baby Flowers

I'm sure I've read about waters regenerating. Drink lots of fluids, like a shit load more than you normally would. Get lots of rest and keep everything crossed. Wishing you the very best.

Sending you so so much love , I am so sorry 💕🌹

Sussexmidwife · 02/04/2020 22:47

I am so sorry. Happening at this stage of pregnancy means that the pregnancy cannot continue. As PP suggested I support talking to your baby so that you say the things you want & need to. Obviously he/she won’t “hear” but I still think that talking and expressing your love, care and sorrow about saying goodbye is important
Message me if you need any info or advice
Sending you lots of love at a very sad time xx

Oh how awful. I'm so sorry. And sorry you had to go through such a hideous appointment alone Flowers

LittleBrownBaby · 02/04/2020 23:26

Thank you all so much. I have miscarried the baby now. It was much more brutal than I could have ever imagined. I'm so sad I'll never meet you, little one x
