I am sorry to hear you are going through this. I have a friend that just went through the same. You mentioned that you are not leaking anymore. That is a very good sign!!! My friend ruptured at 18 weeks. It took almost 2 weeks for the leak to heal, but it did. Now she is at 28 weeks and baby is healthy as far as they can tell. I'm sorry if my answers are blunt. I am not a doc, but helped her with questions and research. It is a GREAT sign you are not leaking anymore. Good luck.

Love & Prayers, Nikki

1. Can the membrane sealed back ? Rarely, yes. The leak can seal. No more leaking and ultrasound to see fluid volume can tell if it's sealed

2. When can the fluid be formed again ? > Fluid is formed constantly and replenishes itself every 3 hours. You are always making more.

>3. Is there chance for premature birth and baby will survive ?
> Yes, there is a chance for premature birth. Survival depends on when the baby is born and extent of damage from no fluid and compression.

4. If I have no fever and still no fluid, can baby survive ? > Depends...compression of the head, cord and lung problems tend to happen
Many cases of cerebral palsy if infant survives.

>5. How to improve baby's lung development without fluid in the bag ?
> not sure of this one.
