Prayers for cousin, his wife and unborn baby (leaking amniotic fluid)
me | March 9, 2005 | me

Posted on 03/09/2005 6:03:39 PM PST by WV Mountain Mama

My cousin, Scott and his wife, Marsha are expecting a baby girl. Two weeks ago at 24 weeks gestation, her amniotic fluid began to leak. After messing around at their local (and horrible) hospital, she went by ambulance to a big one in Pittsburgh. They found out that everything the previous hospital did was wrong. Now They are just waiting to see how long they can keep the baby in the womb and hoping everyday that it will be another day. The baby weighed 1 pound 6 oz on Monday. Any prayers for Scott, Marsha and their daughter would be appreciated.

Prayers for Mom and baby.

It is difficult but you can still carry a baby without amniotic fluid.

I am relieved to hear that she is now in a good hospital with 24 hour a day monitoring. Thanks for the prayers.

I know how hard this must be - my son had amneotic banding in the womb which resulted in him losing an arm. It's frightening how many things can go wrong before birth. Prayers going out for the little one!

My prayers are with your family. My daughter was born at 28 weeks -- every hour will help this tiny baby be that much healthier as there are so many things they can do to strengthen the baby's lungs. You cannot beat being in a major hospital where they are prepared for everything to make sure the baby is okay. BTW, my daughter turned out to be a healthy baby and came on her due date when she weighed exactly 5 lbs.

Take care and keep us posted.

Praying here!

There was an article in our local paper about a baby born in Mobile weighing 10 oz -- can you imagine? And he's doing well.

It is difficult but you can still carry a baby without amniotic fluid.

It depends on how developed the baby's lungs are. I think twenty four weeks is borderline.

I started leaking amniotic fluid at 26 weeks. They kept telling me I was peeing on myself and I insisted that I wasn't. They finally had the brains to check the fluid and it tested positive for it. BE PROACTIVE!

Tell your cousin to insist that she be on a bed with her feet elevated and all the pressure of the baby off her cervix. I stayed like this with a cathater for a week and the leak stopped. It worked so well that I went three overdue!

Prayers for them and their baby though.

Hey, same baby! I was trying to do a search to post the article, and then saw it on the browse page.
