Amniotic fluid leak? Has this happened to you? Why does it happen and was everything okay?

Question

I think I'm leaking amniotic fluid. I am almost 29 weeks. I noticed something was going on down there so I laid down for 30 minutes and then stood up to see if there was a "gush" and there was and now I'm just really freaked out. I'm leaving for the emergency room now but I just wanted opinions and experiences from others. Thanks

Answer

Patients always come into triage with this. It's usually urine but better safe than sorry! They'll do a dry glove nitrazine/ ferning test and possibly a sterile speculum exam to see if you've ruptured. Good luck, I hope you're not ruptured!! ❤️

Answer

They will test you praying it's not Cuz if it is your will be in labor, my water broke at 23 weeks with my last son I went to the er and they tested to see if it was fluid and it was all over from there I was on bed rest in the hospital til my son was born thank God he waited til I was 28 weeks to be born! Praying it's just pee that's not something you want to experience plus having a premature child is very hard especially if they are not born healthy good luck mama

Answer

Sometimes I get a gush of fluid but that's just because I have been sitting a while or laying down. Mine is not amniotic fluid though, just normal preggo stuff. 😊

Answer

Good thing your going to the emergency room, this happened to my best friend twice this year at 19 weeks and she had to deliver both her daughters, which they didn't survive. Doctors said if she had of been 24 weeks they could've possibly done something to save her babies

Answer

I hope you're not leaking!!
