Premature water breaking

My waters broke at 20 weeks, I was in hospital for a week as they said there was a high chance of going straight into labour. I am 22 weeks today and my baby is still growing strong with limited fluid but they have said I could go into premature labour at any point. Has anyone else been in this situation? My heads a mush as the doctors are telling us to consider a termination as the lack of fluid surrounding the baby was caused by an infection so the damage to the baby’s brain could have already happened, plus the damage caused by premature birth. Has anyone else been affected by this ?

I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through, what an awful situation to be in.
Are you still in hospital? Can you feel any movements? Have you been able to share what's been happening with any friends or family?

It must be so stressful, thinking of you.
Not quite the same but a friend of mine’s waters broke at 26 weeks and she was monitored but ended up going into labour at 27 weeks. Baby was premature and in NICU for a few weeks but is now 13 months old and thriving. Sending you lots of love and support 🎉
