Can a fetus survive without amniotic fluid for over 2 months in the womb?

The answer is yes. I currently have a daughter whose water broke at 26 weeks and she is now at 29 weeks and in the hospital until she delivers. The baby continues to make the fluid and her head is down close to where the hole in the sac is located. There is risk of infection, of course, but she had a round of anti-biotics. Another consideration is the baby's position in relation to the cord, so she is put on the baby monitor regularly. They are trying to get her to 34 weeks, and she has been through some contractions, but none that would make delivery necessary. As she also has placenta previa, her occasional bleeding is more of a problem than the water breaking. Infection is a reason deliver, and also if the baby is experiencing distress on the monitor.
So, yes, the water can break and in my daughter's case, she is still pregnant and hoping for every day "Ann" gets to stay in the womb!
