looking for advice, possible tmi
Hi! I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and as some of you may have seen, I posted a couple weeks ago about fluid leaking out of me (usually just in the morning) and I was wondering if it was amniotic fluid. I went to the ER that day (midwife told me to go there instead Of l&d which was odd) and I was "tested" for amniotic which came back negative. My problem with this is that I had a lot of pain so the doctor didn't fully insert the speculum and i wasn't leaking at the time so I feel the test may not be correct. I did however have an ultrasound and everything looked find.
However, I'm still having this issue. VERY watery fluid (usually clear, sometimes can be cloudy) gushes out in small spurts. Usually in the morning a couple times until I've been up and about for an hour or so. It's pretty much every morning and I know not to put on clean underwear until it seems I'm done leaking because one gush will ruin a pair of underwear. This morning as I changed my underwear (too soon! Lol) it dripped down my legs (yes both legs) and then finished by dripping onto the floor as well (tmi sorry). I'm concerned that the doctor was incorrect (er generalist, not a real gyno) and I'm really sick of this fluid. I don't feel like it's discharge, and I feel like I should listen to my body. But I also don't want to argue with doctors if they say I'm fine. Has anyone else experienced this? And what did it end up being? Baby is still moving, usually very active at night so I'm not incredibly concerned. Just want to know what this fluid is.
ETA: I've also been having headaches recently which is unusual for me, not sure if that's related.
