I went in on Friday for my 34 week appt and I was measuring at 30 weeks. He scheduled an ultrasound for Tuesday. He is concerned about #1- baby size #2- that I may be leaking water. If I AM leaking water, do you know what the doctor will do? Will they take the baby out? How much water SHOULD I have in there at 34 weeks?

The water amount gets smaller as the baby grows don't worry. About leaking water my mom was leaking water with my youngest sister at 6 months and they just stopped the leak with a shot of steriods and put her on bed rest. And as for the measuring small.. My doctor wasn't concerned.. I am 31 weeks and was measuring about 27-28 weeks. It might mean you are just having a small baby thats what they told me anyways. The ultrasound should tell you everything.
Good Luck!

Were they still able to hear a heart beat? If not then the baby stopped developing at 30 weeks. If that is the case I am very sorry. There is always the chance that they were off with your due date. That may be why the doctor is concerned about the babies size.
I had to much water when I was 34 weeks I believe my water was 29 point something but I am not completely for sure. My water dropped from 27 to 22 in 4 days when I was 35-36 weeks. If you are leaking water you can get very sick from it. I got an infection from my water leaking and got admitted to the hospital w/ 103 fever and couldn't walk or keep anything down. They had to do a emergency c-section the next morning.
They will have to take the baby. It will be early but they can't allow you to continue carrying the baby. If you get an infection the baby can get it as well. At 34 weeks the baby's lungs should be completely developed they develop in the 7th month. So the baby will be just fine, just a little under weight & small.
I hope everything works out for you. Good luck!

they will admit you and put you on strict bedrest. you wont even be allowed to go to the bathroom. i know someone who went through this at 29 weeks and they held her off til 32 weeks and the baby is fine hes 2 and fully toilet trained his older sister is not but she has kidney issues

you might need admitted to the hospital for awhile so they can keep a watch on you.
