The hospital said that my membrane ruptured. I was in the hospital for 4 days. In that time my amniotic fluid levels went from (12 is normal) 10, to 4, to none, then to 7.5 on my last ultrasound. The first hospital suggested that I have my labor induced, (my cervix is still closed) I refused. Because my baby's heartbeat is very strong and my fluid levels is always changing. So I was sent to a bigger hospital. Where I was given antibiotics, and IV fluids. The doctor's sent me home yesterday with a prescription for antibiotics, and told me that I needed to be on bed rest and try to make it 4 weeks without an infection and going into early labor. If I can make it that long I will then be admitted into the hospital at 24 weeks and given steroids for the baby's lungs. I will have to be in the hospital for the rest of my pregnancy, they said I could deliver at 24 weeks and the baby might survive but they will try to prevent delivery until 34 weeks, depending on if I get an infection but the baby has to be born at 34 weeks.
I am really scared I will wake up and the baby will have been born without me know it. Is that possible?
Has anyone had an early water break like this? What was the outcome? I am so scared. But I still have hope.
I am really scared, 20 weeks pregnant and my water broke?
the second hospital is right in line with what we do @ the texas medical center. i had 1 pt. who's water broke @ 16 wks., she was hospitalized, put on mag. sulfate (i.v. med that relaxes muscles--your uterus) they may choose another med., but terbutaline then mag. is the protocol, along w/ a steroid to accelerate your baby's lung maturity, a regular i.v. to keep you hydrated and many other things such as serial u/s's, antibiotics (b/c risk of infection to baby %26amp; yourself), very limited cervical exams %26amp; monitoring of the baby as well as uterine activity. the pt. i had, was the earliest i had seen that had broke her water and had a successful outcome. She %26quot;sealed over%26quot;, which is possible if the leak was a small one--basically the amniotic sac healed itself and covered a pin-point hole. she left the hosp. @ 36wks. and had to be induced 2 weeks later! she brought a perfect 2-1/2 yr. old to see me later. this is a story of success and though it does not always turn out this way--this is what i want you to think about and meditate on. picture the leak as being closed, and you holding your baby at term. no negative thoughts--period! stay in bed, no sex, no holding or lifting other kids or anything heavy. while in bed, read the book %26quot;The Secret%26quot;, it will change your life and it works! i'm glad you did not have you labor induced. good luck, i'll be sending out positive thoughts for yourself and your baby.
I am really scared, 20 weeks pregnant and my water broke?
trust me you will feel when your baby is coming out. it hurts really bad. my water broke at 35 1/2 weeks. drink plenty of water because that helps your fluid level.
Wow thats a really scary thing to go through.
My friend actually went through this exact same thing. She had her baby at 22 weeks and he's doing just great. He was born at 1 1/2 Lbs.
He's now up to 5 Lbs and 8 ounces.
She finally gets to take him home next week.
I dont think you will sleep through the birth of your baby though.
You will feel the contractions and you will feel loads of pain if the baby were to come while you slept.
I wish you the best of luck sweetie as this is going to be a really tough Journey for the next couple of months.
Did the doctor say why your membranes ruptured in the first place?
Hope all goes well %26lt;3
My daughters birth mothers water broke at 26wks, and my little girl was born at 28 1/2 weeks. They kept her in the hospital the whole time, and my little girl was 2lbs 10oz, but they said it was because of the mothers drug/alcohol use. If you can hold out until 26 weeks, I say you should be ok. I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

4 car questions .. 91 civic?
1st thing is I went to change my break light and can't get the bulb in. It's definately the right bulb (2057), the one you push in and turn so the little knobs get in place. for some reason i cant get the bulb to turn and can't see anything blocking it from turning!! there was rust from the old bulb, but it all pretty much fell out.
2nd is my hood won't open. I went to check my oil and it won't pop from the inside, it was fine 4 days ago. IS this a hard thing to fix? Im guessing the wiring messed up somehow... which it may sound stupid but could I have done something to the hood while messing and pulling on the back brake wires? (just cause it seems to have happened at the same time)
3.. is there anything i can do myself to get my windshield washer fluid to squirt on my front windows, the back fluid comes out just fine, but i can't get the front going.
4. I always thought I need my reserve coolant tank at max when my car engine is cold. Is it okay if its not? what could happen?
4 car questions .. 91 civic?
The auto parts store is a wealth of information.
How long are planing to keep it. Do the door hinges sage see if the door pushes up when you close it. The last miles of a car are very expensive dollars per miles You got to look real close. Its a trusted friend and hard to part with. Find a new mechanic. Angel list may have listed for your area try to Google it.
1 Replace the light socket you maybe able to buy the medal insert with 1 wire witch is the hot
2Play with the cable pull it open push it closed try pushing down on the hood.
3There are 2 tanks for the washer Don't run the front one you will burn out the motor with no fluid. There is a one way value that may need to be replaced or put in so the the motor doesn't work so hard. A local auto parts store sells tubing and after 17 years needs replacement
4The engine should be hot when you fill it to max or it could over flow in the street It tastes sweet to animals and will kill them
4 car questions .. 91 civic?
Get a friend to replace the bulb for you, a little hand technique may do the job if you are using the correct bulb. The hood cable return spring may have come off. Try pushing the cable handle to check if you can open the hood, if not you will need your neighborhood mechanic to check it. The windshield washer line can get clogged with dirt or foreign material, check the jets if OK, use a pin to clear blockages. Look at the lines, it may have loosened to push it tight to its plastic linkage. If your coolant level is below the %26quot;LOW%26quot; level, time to top up. However if you are below %26quot;FULL%26quot;, you should be alright. Lack of coolant can make your car overheat and can be expensive so check the level all the time.
about the bulb! the socket is probably corroded. what you probably have to do is clean the socket, put some wd-40 in the socket and see if it loosens it up. about the hood! maybe the hood release is broke. get under the front of the car, take a long screwdriver and reach up to the hood latch and see if you can pop the hood. number 3. take a small, tiny piece of wire and clean out the squirter. if your talking about the resovoir for the coolant then when it,s cold fill it between the add and full mark and when it gets hot it will show full.

I am 20 weeks pregnant and my water broke?
my water broke at 13 weeks and made it to 20 weeks before i went into labor. Unfortunately my son didn't make it. Since you are much farther along than i was i think if you stick with the bed rest and do everything the dr said you have a good chance of making it to the 24 weeks. Its very difficult. they suggested that i be induced as well but refused. there have been cases where the rip seals itself. my fluid level never went back up, so that may be a very good sign for you. I am currently 14 weeks pregnant again and i am scared to death it will happen again. Please take it easy and don't to anything and drink lots of fluids. Im praying for you and your baby. I would love for your outcome to be positive! If you ever need to talk you can message me anytime. I learned alot and may be able to help you more. God Bless, Jennifer
I am 20 weeks pregnant and my water broke?
One thing is for sure, you will not have a baby without knowing it. Even women who have a miscarriage will have SEVERE cramping.
You're best bet is to do everything the hospital tells you, take it easy, and pray.
Best of luck.

Problem working the steering wheel in my car when i want to turn!!?
I have a 98 dodge stratus. Its been running really well as of late, but last week, the wheel started putting up resistance when I try to turn. Its only when I'm pulling into or out of parking spots, or try to turn with my foot on the break...I just got my oil changed a little while ago and they said all my fluids were good...is this going to be pricey to fix?

Check power steering Genius
Problem working the steering wheel in my car when i want to turn!!?
Sounds as if you are having one of two problems. First check the belt. If the problem is at low RPMs it could be slipping. Or you could have a rack and pinion that is going bad on you.
sounds like the steering pump is low or the belt is slipping. those places will tell you anything. some of those places don,t know a power steering from a radio.

1991 Olds Cutlass Calais, 163,000 Miles A.T., -No Reverse,- Rides PERFECT Forward.. Please Evaluate Advice?
... This is an answer i got to my Question, because im timid and my engine looks VERY Pretty and Prefect (like new, with normal age dirt) but still, I dont want to touch ANYTHING, i only topped off my Engine Oil and Antifreeze, and was careful when i did, my engine is CLEAN and runs NEW:
your tranny fluid obviously hasn't been checked in a long time.
hold the tube with one hand while pulling the dipstick with the other. a little effort and twisting may be required but i doubt you will break it.
i checked your other questions to find out what kind of car you are talking about .http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a> and i will answer it here because you were misinformed.
if you change your fluid and filter reverse will work again.
i have done this for many people who were told their tranny was shot.

It will take a LOOOONG Time before i get up enough courage to change the Fluid and Filter (I am scared to DEATH of a %26quot;No Pull.%26quot;) Can you tell me how to do it right? (And what NOT to do? -- DO NOT FLUSH, Correct? THANKS!)
.. I am going to (for now) Keep driving the car with NO REVERSE%26lt; just putting it in Neutral and pushing it backward when i have to, also pulling through spots. But can anyone tell me a YES or NO?

Your question indicates that you do not know much about maintaining a car. If you do not change your oil and filter on a regular basis the engine will eventually build up sludge in the engine pan. When this happens the oil passages will start to plug up, leading to engine failure. Same sort of thing with the radiator fluid. It must be changed on a regular basis because it loses its ability to protect from rust over time. When this happens the radiator will start to corrode and plug up and would need replacement. Same with the transmission. It has a filter in it that must be changed according to the schedule in your car manual's maintenance schedule. The fluid and filter should be changed together normally. Failure to do so will eventually result in the transmission completely malfunctioning. Is that what you really want? If you are not capable of doing the work, or afraid to try it, then take it to a competent transmission place or your car dealer.

This will eventually leave you on the side of the road and walking home...
Take it to a transmission shop, and have them flush the trans first with new fluid, then have them take off the pan, change the filter, and top off....
Timing is everything. Good thing it is the last weekend for cash for clunkers. Time to trade up.What type of quilt do you like beauty in eyes

2004 mountaineer transmission question?
my mountaineer is at 90,000 miles i bought it used at 55,000 miles. i have no idea if the transmission fluid was ever changed on it. its a sealed system so i have to take it to the dealer. i was reading a few answers people have given stating that if the transmission fluid was never changed before than you shouldn't bother changing it at all. so i need to know what to do here. when im driving it feels different than it used to, like a slightly harder shift in the gears and a slight pulling feeling when i accelerate. could be all in my head or could not.don't know if that has anything to do with the transmission fluid or something completely different, but i am assuming it does because of the whole gear shifting thing.i am extremely paranoid because my husband is in iraq and i don't want to break this vehicle before he comes home. everyone else says it seems fine but they've never driven it, only myself and my husband have. please help!! any info or advise is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
2004 mountaineer transmission question?
If the car was maintained properly the trans oil has been changed take in and have it done also ask the dealer if there are any recalls on this.The reason some people don't want to change trans oil with high miles the new oil is high in detergent and will break up any deposits which sometimes will cause a problem.

99 Ford Contour SE, Flex Plate has to be changed?
Hi,
Got 2 jobs on my Contour.
1. Starter problems. Flex Plate has to be changed. Trans Fluid has to be replaced. Some teeths on fly wheel are broken.
2. Front Crank Seal has to be repaired for some oil leak.
Am being charged around 900 dollars in Central Jersey.
Please advise how good or bad it is.
(I deleted my previous post as I did not have these details.)
99 Ford Contour SE, Flex Plate has to be changed?
Thats good deal cause that is basically ripping the car engine out to do all that work due to it being a front wheel drive car its not like something you would reach down and take off I promise you its big mess Im mechanic but I do my own work and I don't tocuh front wheel transmissions.
99 Ford Contour SE, Flex Plate has to be changed?
Anytime you have to pull the tranny and engine, you are automatically looking at about $400. Then add all the parts and labor to fix your problems, and yes, you are getting a good deal. Fly wheel alone is a couple hundred.
I would only question why there are flywheel teeth broken? You don't want to put in a new one and have it ruined immediately. Just as long as the mechanic is sure he or you knows what happened there.
