Hi ladies
25 weeks pregnant with first baby so all is new to me. Also MC last year so slightly more paranoid.
I'm a little concerned I may be leaking amniotic fluids. I felt some trickles this morning but Tbf I do have a leaky bladder and damp underwear is not uncommon.
An hour ago I fully emptied my bladder, put on some clean pants and lay on my side for an hour not moving. I checked my underwear and there are wet patches visible and it doesn't smell of urine. I have no pain and no coloured discharge. It’s like someone poured small amounts of water in my pants.
Spoke to my hospital assessment unit and the midwife (I think she was a MW) said it could be thrush or a bladder infection as I have low lying pressure and the liquid could be discharge. She Told me to wear a pad for a bit and call back if it's continuing.
This Doesn't look anything like any discharge I have had in my life and I have had enough thrush and bladder infections to know what they feel like. Nor do I have any other of their symptoms. I don’t like to second guess medical professionals but for the first time I don’t feel I was 100% listened to or taken seriously, however I appreciate first time mothers worry a lot unnecessarily.
Any advice/input/similar situations would be greatly appreciated!
