thanks again to everyone who responded to my last post. i feel much better visiting this forum, knowing that others are experience similar fears and pushing through just fine. you are all an inspiration... i was just wondering what fluid in my cul de sac would mean, because i looked it up and it seems that it would indicate some sort of rupture. is this true? if so, why did the doc not seem concerned to get me in before another month? could it just be normal fluid that comes and goes, or what? thanks for any knowledge. take care- becca
