Hello ma'am and welcome.
If at all your water has broken during the gestational age of 20 weeks, it would be very difficult to save the baby as lung maturity would not have been attained. Please meet with your doctor to confirm whether this is your water or some other discharge (eg. Leucorrhea).
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
