For the second week I am idle in the hospital, and in my stomach every day my baby fights for his life. The only antidote I am given is time and waiting for what it will bring. On a follow-up ultrasound in the 20th week, it turned out that I had no amniotic fluid. Genetic testing at week 13 and a repeat test at week 20 found no defects, all in place, vaginal swabs showed no infection. Diagnosis: rupture of the fetal bladder. I counted on refilling the water, but in my case it is not possible because a hematoma was detected and adding the water may cause a hemorrhage. Both maintenance pills and magnesium were discontinued in the hospital and told to wait. I am currently in the 22nd tc. The baby is crushed by the uterus, there is no way to move. Has anyone encountered such a situation? Heard of a solution? This idle waiting and watching my child suffer is killing me.

You can see that you are not coping with the problem. In such a situation, I advise you to contact a psychologist. Amniotic fluid is produced constantly and the baby grows and develops despite its lack. He may be less comfortable and move less, but he's probably used to it. If the membranes were ruptured, even if there were options for administration of amniotic fluid, it would most likely leak through the rupture. There is also no possibility of "sticking" the resulting crack. If the child is growing, there are also no indications for termination of pregnancy. Management is limited to monitoring the development of pregnancy and inflammation. Also, no one will predict how and when your pregnancy will end. It may be soon, but it cannot be ruled out that only after the 30th week.
