Leaking PINK/WATERY fluid at 29 weeks?

zBaby · Apr 9th, 2012, 10:18 AM

This has been going on for about a week now.
Ive been gushing pink fluid, having slight cramping, and my doctor has been no help.
We decided to visit a new birthing center a few days ago, they were amazing, monitored our baby, assured us that everything is OK with him, his heart rate is good, fluid levels are OK and my cervix is not dialating.
The nurse told me that Its possible that I have an infection that is causing me to bleed.

I am very scared that this is true, and that it is going to harm my baby.
I am waiting for a call about the results, but if anyone has any experience with anything like this...

Never experianced that before hun

When do you get your results back? If you have got any infection then they will put you on antibiotics. In the mean time if you have any more loss of fluid, contractions or movements decrease get in touch with your doctor straight away

I called this morning, they said there is no sign of the results :\
Im very nervous. Ive never had any kind of infection before, and im really nervous that the longer i wait, the more chance there is that it can effect my baby! :\

when we went the other day, i was told i was having "small contractions" from being dehydrated.
Ive been trying to drink a ton of water since then, and i keep feeling extreme tightness around the sides of my belly, trying to stay calm and rest!

Thankyou for your response

we are in the process of finding a new doctor!

Have they checked if your waters have gone? I would keep nagging them hun. With waters still intact the baby is well protected, the fetal sac acts like a barrier between baby and infections. I have step b and it is only dangerous once my waters have gone. x

Yes, they have checked, they say my waters are still in tact.

VERY good to know, thank you

very shocked its not your waters.. my waters were a pinky colour. have they checked again or tested the actual fluid?

I have an appt tomorrow morning, and im going to have her check again.
The last time i had gushing, it felt like he punched me in the cervix (REALLY painful) And then my shorts were soaked.

If its not my waters...or urine, then idk where all of this fluid is coming from and its making me nervous!
