Thank You! It was a doctor that told me this unfortunately. I've had HCG levels done twice, and both are perfect. I also just had an ultrasound and there is nothing wrong. My doctor can't believe the other doctor told me I was leaking amniotic fluid and going to miscarry!
Hi!
I'm not sure who told you that it was amniotic fluid, but I hope it wasn't a doctor or nurse.
A few important things to know--first of all, there really isn't much amniotic fluid until after the first trimester, second and more importantly, an amniotic fluid leak is a minor emergency, and should be reported to the doctor right away. Once the membranes have ruptured, infection can set in and lead to complications.
Many women find they have excess clear mucousy discharge during pregnancy which is caused by the high hormone levels. It is also common (although usually later in the pregnancy) to have some urine leakage from the baby "sitting" on the bladder. Either of these things is normal. Amniotic fluid leakage is not.
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
