Worried About My Unusual Pregnancy Symptoms Posted: 01-01-05 14:20pm
I am 30 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Thus
far I have had a pretty uneventful
pregnancy with no complications. 4 days
ago I had an episode of water leakage, but
was unsure if my water had actually broken
or if I had leaked urine. With no
further leakage, I brushed the episode off
as a urine mishap. Although, since that
day I have had diarrhea and become
increasingly weak and dehydrated. Now I
am worried that my water actually did
break and/or I am developing an infection.
Are these normal symptoms of late
pregnancy or should I contact my ob?
What other symptoms can I look for in
trying to detect a problem? Please help!
I am getting more nervous by the minute!
I don't really now if those symptoms are
normal. I suggest you go to your ob asap.
Anytime you feel things are not right and
your leaking anything in late pregnancy it
is better to be safe then sorry. Goodluck
hun.

I would call your ob or go to the
hospital right away. Even if it is
urine its better to be safe then sorry.
When I was 29 weeks with my first child I
had a membrane leak and I had to be
hospitalized that way infection didnt
occour. It felt like a gush of liquid.
It felt to weird to be urine so I went
to the dr that afternoon and he just
simply got a certain kind of swab they had
and ran it along my underwear and if the
tip turned green (which it did) then it
was amniotic fluid. I don't know if
because this happen a copule of days ago
that you would still be leaking or not.
I would def get in touch with some medical
help rather quickly though. I thought I
had a second leak at 34 weeks because they
told me that the amnotic fluid smells like
bleach and I could have swore I smelt it.
They were really understanding and they
did a swab and even a stress test but it
was just a bladder infection and it was in
fact urine. But like I said. I
wouldn't wait any longer specially if
infection has already startded. Hope
this helps.

Thanks for your help. With odd symptoms
increasing instead of decreasing like I
hoped, I will call my ob first thing in
the morning. I just feel funny and i'd
rather be safe than sorry. Thanks for
your support and giving me that extra kick
to get up and call my doctor! I'll let
you know.
