How do I know what is "normal" discharge for 32 weeks- or that it could be a sign of amniotic fluid leaking?

Sat, 22 Nov 2008 07:57:08 -0600

hello all, and Good morning!

I am 32 weeks pregnant today.

I have been noticing an increase in "leaking" - every once in a while I feel a very slight "gush" of fluid and sure enough- my underwear are a little wet. I know that it is pretty common to leak a little bit of urine- especially when one has a full bladder, or when the baby shifts or stomps on the bladder but how do Iknow if what I am experiencing is "normal" or if it is something more concerning-like leaking amniotic fluid? Lately when I've noticed the fluid I don't THINK I have a full bladder- or even close, and it's usually when I get up from sitting, walking or when I go to turn over in bed. Of course my question and worrying arises on a SATURDAY when my doctor's office is not open! My next scheduled Dr. appointment is December 1. (they had to put it off a week since my dr has the entire week of Thanksgiving off). Your input is much appreciated!

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 23:20:26 -0500

Hi Dr Q I recently had an ultrasound and the tech told me she could see fluid in my tubes. I will be seeing my doctor again to discuss this, But when you have them removed how soon can you start IVF? Thanks for all of your help.

Question about u/s pic and fluid...

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:57:08 -0500

I went to my ob today for a routine appt. But it turned into a bit more. Because, they were concerned about the possiblity of me leaking fluid. The fluid around Trey looked good but they said that does not mean I could not be leaking any fluid so they are gonna keep a check on it.

Are there any signs that I should be looking for to see if I am in fact leaking the fluid around the baby?

They gave me 3 more u/s pics of trey. 2 of them I can tell what they are but the 3rd one I cant tell. I thought maybe one of you could tell me what the u/s pic is showing. Thank you.

BTW I will be 30 weeks on Saturday

Ejaculation Fluid & Sperm

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:11:21 -0500

Hi! My husband and I have been TTC since Feb 08. He is 39 and I am 24. Sometimes if we bd many times in days close together he feels like not much comes out. Is this normal? Does it matter how much fluid is produced?

Also, since he is 39, should we go ahead and have him checked out by a doc for these issues? Or does this sound normal for men? We were not sure if this will affect our chances or not.

Fluid Pills while TTC

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 23:05:25 -0500

I was just wondering if the fluid Pill Hydrochlorathiazide would have any type of effect on the Prometrium that I'm taking now and the clomid I will soon be taking? Will it hurt my chances make them less effective if I take the hydrochlorathiazide? Thanks

Dear Dr. Q

I was diagnosed with enlarged left fallopian tube. 3.5 cm as per US. But doctor says it must be the tube. I asked does it look something dangerous he said no. I am going for a lap soon. Will my rt.tube be probably damaged. Is there a way of correcting my left tube without removing it.

low amniotic fluid

Thu, 15 May 2008 19:22:21 -0500

my dr called me and said that when my ultrasound was done at 19wks the amniotic fluid level was low on one side. she said i shouldn't worry too much because in most cases it will correct itself. i also confirmed this with my aunt is a ultrasound tech. she said they see this commonly with no real issues. made me feel much better.

now after reading online baby information about it, i'm so worried again, because it says that this condition only happens in about 8 in 100 women, and if it happens earlier in the pregnancy they are more at risk for birth defects. i'm extremely worried now. as far as my pregnancy is going, everything else seems fine. i seem healthy as can be. can you give me any information and advice on what i can do to, and just how worried should i be? i need my mind eased... thanks!

Cervical Fluid??

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:06:29 -0500

I have allergies and need to know if there is something else that I can take that does not have Antihistamines & Phenylephrine because it can dry up cervical fluid and thus interfere with sperm survival. What are my options here?

Belly Question...

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:24:06 -0500

Hi Dr Q,

I know I am obsessing over this belly situation but I am wondering what are other causes of a pretty big pregnant belly at 15 weeks pregnant? Too much amniotic fluid? Gestational Diabetes? PCOS? Any help would be greatly appreciated because as we all know I am quite a worrier. Thanks so much in advance!

single dose by mistake

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:11:20 -0500

can a single dose of aspirin, ibuprofen, or similar fever reducers have a impact in the 3rd trimester. i was down with fever and the er gave me a tablet but i feel it wasnt tylenol. could this create a problem for the baby? it was just one dose.

Amniotic Fluid

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 20:28:12 -0600

Dr. Q,

Hey there :)

I was wondering if 13yrs ago when I was pregnant with my daughter I somehow ran out of amniotic fluid toward the end of my pregnancy and was induced on my due date. We only found that out from an u/s cause I wasn't feeling the baby kick as much. Since I am constantly wet now the last few days and it is clear and sort of sweet smelling, what are my chances that it is happening again? Is this something that repeats itself each pregnancy and what causes one to no longer have any amniotic fluid, especially since 13yrs ago I don't remember leaking any. I'm not too concerned since I have been feeling little Cameron kick like a maniac tonight but I am curious if this is something I should mention to my doctor when I go on March 17th.

Leaking

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 09:43:58 -0600

Dr. Q, I know we talked about this before, but it is happening so much in the last two days I 'm starting to worry here.

I am about 30wks now and for the last two days I am getting really really wet. It is clear and has a sweeter smell to it, not like urine and I wonder if it could be cm but it's not milky at all. I have been so wet in the middle part of my panties that I've had to change them 2-3 times a day for the last two days. I'm sorry if I am grossing you out doc!

Follow up on leaking amniotic fluid

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:52:10 -0600

Dr. Q described how it would feel if the water broke.. but what about if its just leaking? Then how would you tell?

For instance, vaginal infections can occasionally get up through the cervix and start working away at the bag and cause a slow leak.

How would you tell the difference between leaking fluid that way, and just the normal wetness?

Fluid

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 09:34:38 -0600

I am 9dpo. When I went in for an ultrasound, they found fluid. What could the fluid be from? Is it possible to still be pregnant with this fluid being present?

I didn't ovulate!

Wed, 07 Nov 2007 12:58:35 -0600

I had an us done this morning and it showed that the lining on my uterus is really thin and I did not ovulate! I do have several small follicles, the largest is 11. My doctor is putting me on estace for 7 days, then one week after finishing it she wants me to take prometrium again for another 10 days. She said it is possible that I will ovulate without the help of clomid shortly after finishing the estrace because this might help the follicles to grow while increasing the lining on my uterus. Also, I have a large amount of free fluid in my cluldesac and she wants me to see my gyno about this. What could cause the free fluid? I believe this is why I have been cramping so badly. Is there anything that I can do to help thicken the lining? Any advice on where to go from here? Thank you Dr.Q
