I had this on friday, I went to hospital and they checked me internally and booked me for scan tomorrow, they too thought it may be my waters, but after checking me said it didnt look like it.

I can totally understand how scared u are cos i am the same. I've not had it since tho,

Hope yr ok keep us informed.

I would advise that you call and get it checked.

2 years ago, I was 18 weeks pregnant and had a small leak of fluid. I thought nothing of it at first, but then a day or 2 later I was sat on the toilet and I coughed and more fluid came out. I called the hospital and had to go in. They took swabs and told me it was amniotic fluid and I was admitted straight away.

I had no pain, no cramps etc, just the fluid leak. The following day I had a scan which showed there was hardly any fluid around the baby. At this point my temperature and heart rate were up and I was told I had an infection and had to deliver the baby before it spread to my bloodstream.

My point being here that it's best to get it checked out. Rather be told it's nothing and you're fine than leave it like I did, only to find out that you should have had it checked out.

Hi girls ! How are you all? Have been to my doctor..and he thoroughly checked me out! The ultrasound results came back fine but he wants a midwife or obstetrician to see me 'this week' ASAP! Just in case. So I'll ring up tomorrow and try and make an appointment and hopefully they can sort it out! He said because of my symptoms it's a good idea just incase it is preterm labour. Be he said the ultrasound was reassuring so
Not to stress too much it's just a precaution !
Of course I am still stressed anyway but not as I'm feeling positive(today anyway haha) but will keep you informed about how it all goes

hey hun, just an update on my "gush", well my scan went fab, both babies are growing perfect and the fluid around them is all there. they also got my swab results back which showed NOTHING, im amazed, i thought id have some nasty infection or something but nope. so ive bn yold just to keep an eye on it and if im concerned or it changes in anyway to go back. i also have an anterior placentawhich i didnt know but this isnt a concern but may explain why i hadnt felt any wriggles since wed, then last nightwriggling away. typical.

hope yr ok hun
