Question: Amniotic fluid? I'm currently 33wks+ pregnant with my second child and this is VERY different from my first. I was diagnosed with GDM (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus) at 29wks with this pregnancy and have been trying my hardest to keep my sugar levels under control. I just started insulin 4 days ago because I'm having so many problems.
Anywho, my Specialist told me that I have an increased risk of excess fluid or hydramnios and that I should keep an eye out for any symptoms seeing my sugars are erratic.
Since early this morning I have been "leaking" down there and have been a little worried. There has been some discharge (sorry TMI), but there has generally been too much of it to just be cervical mucus. And what is worse I can't get through to the hospital to ask for help!
How can you tell the difference between leaking of discharge and waters? I have been collecting fluid in pads. There hasn't been a hell of a lot. But it still isn't subsiding. Any advice?
Answer: if its your water it comes out every few minutes-i would place a calolto your doctor and tell him or her what is going on
