I had angel a day shy of 20 wks, which was just 3 days after all my waters went completely. They hope that the sac will re seal itself. Are you on daily antibiotics?

I hope that things have made a turn for the better. I just ache for what you are going through. It is so unfair and I just want to scream about it. <br /><br />I am still hopeful for you. Acorn can still come home with you. <br /><br />Everyday must be so scary, every move you make. I hate that the placenta specialist won't just answer your email.<br /><br />Thinking of you all the time and holding out hope for the best.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860497122946287983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-55045942124698437682011-04-14T13:15:33.938-04:002011-04-14T13:15:33.938-04:00I was told 2cm pocket, at least one of that amount...I was told 2cm pocket, at least one of that amount. I never had that fir my entire 10 weeks after pprom. Under 2cm doesn't mean lungs won't develop satisfactorily just they can't guarantee it. So your afi sounds good to me.i know many pprom mothers who have ruptured as early as you and have babies at home now. Some had little to no fluid the entire time.<br /><br />As fr your last post question I got a little pain but didn't realise I was in labour fir a couple hours. Then 15 mins after I realised I was in labour I was 8th dilated. 5 hours later I still hadn't delivered but my son was transverse and at 31 weeks just didn't fit. Think if it wasn't for his position I would have delivered by then. My delivery was very quick because I had an infection, I think it can be a lot slower if you don't have an infection. <br /><br />Thinking of you.Loumaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324396055973731510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-16783685600531273742011-04-14T12:49:41.970-04:002011-04-14T12:49:41.970-04:00Thinking of you....I remember my AFI was 3 with my...Thinking of you....I remember my AFI was 3 with my girl at 21 wks.

This all sounds just horrible. All that I can...Gah! This all sounds just horrible. All that I can think of is that you held on for 3 weeks and things improved for Acorn. You can do another 3 more weeks and maybe turn things around again! When I delivered at 21 weeks the nurse told me an encouraging story that I'll pass on to you.... they had just gotten done discharging a girl (and her baby) that had her water broken at 20 weeks and she made it all the way to 29 weeks! I know all this crap is a long shot but you sound like a really strong Momma and if I was in Vegas betting I would bet on you! <br />This probably all sounds super corny but I'm rooting so hard for you right now!!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944360286843076465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-1776477294130371542011-04-12T21:17:50.453-04:002011-04-12T21:17:50.453-04:00Okay, I just emailed with my favorite NICU nurse. ...Okay, I just emailed with my favorite NICU nurse. Here's her response:<br />"Poor pregnancy outcomes, such as interuterine growth restriction (IUGR), preterm delivery, and fetal distress have been associated with abnormalities in AFI.<br />An AFI less than 5 serves as a red flag that requires some type of further assessment or management. The gestational age of the fetus and maternal condition can influence management decisions such as c-section, induction, and additional testing."<br /><br />That's all I can find...my guess is she can't get a straight answer because there is no straight answer...every baby/pregnancy is different meaning that minimum number of AFI for a baby to have in order to have a chance is going to be different per case. She clearly needs more tests to get more answers...<br /><br />just a few more things from the book...<br />The lung maturity can only be evaluates by amniocentesis where concentrations of certain phospholipids (L/S ratio) that are found in mature alveoli in the lungs are measured...<br />Early in pregnancy the lecithin ("L") concentration in the amnio fluid which is measured in the amnio is less than of sphingomyelin ("S") with a ratio of 0.5:1 at 20 weeks (needs to be 2:1 for mature lung diagnosis). At 30-32 weeks the ratio reaches 1:1 and at 35 weeks reaches 2:1. If it's less than 2:1, respiratory distress is a big possible outcome. Prolonged rupture of membranes results in acceleration of lung maturity by approx 1 week.<br /><br />It's not much, but it's all I can find.."Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-78369422734851030312011-04-12T20:31:55.848-04:002011-04-12T20:31:55.848-04:00Ugh, I hate that the fluid is leaking again. :(
