My SIL is 24 wks pregnant with her first baby.
Everything had been going well, tests all came back good, ultrasounds have all been normal etc, until last week.
My brother rang in some distress, his fiancee had just been to see her OB and had had an emergency US, He told them that she is measuring 36 wks for her (then ) 23 wks, there is a huge amount of fluid in her uterus, and is mainly all at the top and bottom instead of all around the baby.
She initially went to see the OB as she had been having some pain and a bulgy feeling in her vagina and very low down. OB says this is not a good sign and she has been told to stop all exercise (including her daily walk) and to take things VERY easy.
She is being monitored weekly now to check the amniotic levels, they were told that if nothing has changed in another week, something will have to be done.
What exactly, Im not sure! I do know they were talking about removing a litre of fluid at a time, if it comes to that.
This is risky as it could cause preterm labour or rupture. They hae been told to prepare for the possibility of having a very premature baby.
My heart is just breaking for them at the moment, I know how it feels to be so very scared throughout a pregnancy that something is wrong, I wish they werent having to go through this, and I am hoping and praying that little Isaac is gong to be very happy and safe in his mums tummy for quite some time yet.
So my question is, hae any of yo lovely ladies had a diagnosis like this? what was your outcome? or do you know what the possibilities of this resoling itself could be?
I really dont want to do DR Google, Im scared enough as it is. Thankyou.
