Is Abortion Necessary If There Is No Fluid Leakage?
Hello. My sister is 18 weeks pregnant now. Her water broke down 2 days ago and doctor kept her in observation for 2 more days. She may abort the child after 2 days. If my sis doesnt leak amniotic fluid even after 2 days.. can she go ahead with the baby?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Don't worry much. Stay calm.
There is genetic scan which is done at 20th week. Genetic scan exactly can tell you if there is any damage to the fetus.
You can be sure about it by genetic scan by fetal medicine expert. Meanwhile, if she has abortion then it is expected.
She can go ahead with baby if scan is normal and does not get aborted naturally.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Neha Bavarva
