I recently went to the doctor for an ultrasound, and they saw that there isn't much fluid around the baby. The baby needs fluid to live and develop correctly so I am very scared. The doctor referred me to a specialist, and he told me that the reason could be one of three things: the baby has no kidneys to produce fluids, my water broke, or something else that happens at the end of pregnancy. I am just now 5 months, so the third one is not a possibility. My baby has kidneys, so it isn't that. They asked if I had had any fluid gushes and I said no. He said that it isn't always noticeable if you have a leak in your amniotic sack. He told me to come back in two weeks and to hope that there is some fluid made. This morning when I woke up, I had a lot of fluid in my pants... I am very worried that it is all leaking out and my baby won't be healthy... Does anyone have information on this? Or perhaps even gone through it? I don't want my baby to die, and I am so very scared for it to be healthy. Any information is appreciated.
