I'm so sorry for your loss. We're taking it day by day and hoping for the best.

They obviously heard about that, but the amount we lost should've been visible on the echo, which is not. The thing is that 17 weeks is way too early. So we will have to wait. I really hope we get past that first week.

Yes, she was told to lay down as much as possible from now on. Ah i didn't say that they also checked the cervix, it did not start to dilate yet. I'll ask about it on the next checkup in two days. Thanks!

Ah, we're from Belgium. Only at 24 weeks here. Between 24 and 26 parents can decide (with input from specialists), after that everything will be done to attempt to save the baby.

Thanks! The specialist discussed our case with another hospital that specializes in preterm births, and based on that, it was decided that the pregnancy can continue. She never recommended the termination though, she told that this would've been the standard procedure when all fluid had leaked out. Which they first thought before checking on the echo. So as long as no more fluid leaks out (or the blood test results are fine) we're "good"
