Watery discharge Update

A couple days ago I posted about watery discharge, and I thought I would give an update for those that are interested.  

I called the dr and they had me come in...  he gave me an exam and said there was water pooling and it looked like I was probably leaking amniotic fluid.  He tested the ph level and did a fern test and they both came back negative for amniotic fluid.  He did an ultrasound to check my AF (amniotic fluid) level and it measured very good.  My level was 16 and he said low is anything 5 and under.  

He said he couldn't prove that it was amniotic fluid becasue the tests came back negative but he was very suspicious because of all the water.  

I asked him what the babies chances would be if the sac was broken.. he said only about 10% because I'm still so early in my pg.  

So anyway.. the news wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.. I'm just gonna keep laying/sitting here and hope for the best.. That is really all I can do.

Hannah, Well, Good sign it's not testing + for AF, although I'm sure it's still very worrisome.  Do they want you to come back in a week or so for AF checks?  I guess as long as the fluid is good, baby is getting everything he/she needs.  Just hang tight and let them know if there are any changes!

Well Hannah, I am glad to hear that it was not amniotic fluid! I wish they could have given you an explanation for all that  watery discharge.  The good news is your are already on bedrest, so that should help with the "leaking" feeling. Just remember to stay well hydrated so your body continue to replenish its fluids.

Hopefully this is the end of the drama and the rest of your pregnancy will go much smoother!!!!!!!

Hang in there girl!
