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.

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

Typically they have to deliver within 24 hours due to the baby drying out and infection setting in. If the sac has broken, the baby can't stay in.
