Yay teacup! I am so pumped for you

Cassie, we're all glad you're home and praying for no pain and infections. it's scary going thru things like that, but at least you can know baby is not feeling any of it and is ok.

I heard passing a kidney stone can be more painful than giving birth....so I mean, you're ahead if the game, right? (I'm just teasing you, I'm sry you're going thru this!!!!)

Girls, I just got home from the ER a bit ago. I was suspecting fluid leak. My pantiliner was all wet. Not so wet that it was sopping, but damp from front to back. They did a strip test (negative) and an ultrasound and told me I likely have a yeast infection. They didn't say that the fluid from ultrasound was low. Does this sound like I'm ok? I've never gone through anything like this so I'm quite frightened.

I don't have a lot of faith in our ER (the doc I saw was the one who told me in the beginning that my hcg was too low and to expect a miscarriage--he was wrong), so I worry that he's wrong again.

For you who have "wetness", how wet does your pantiliner get? Mine was damp front to back within three hours. It did have an ammonia-y type of smell to it, but after I would wipe, it didn't smell like ammonia. I'm just worried half sick.

And apparently I won't be sent to L&D if this comes up again, so very likely I'd be dealing with the same type of competence that I dealt with this afternoon. The ER doctor told me when they have people come in with leaking prior to 22 weeks, they send them home because there's nothing that can be done. !!!!! :O

Jammers, sorry you had to go through that--that's scary! I have not had any experience with leaky-ness. Since hitting second tri I have had an increase in fluid but I don't even wear liners. Not sure if you posted in the second or third tri threads...some women there might have good advice. I've seen other posts about lots of fluid and they could tell you if what they dealt with was considered normal.

That is very frustrating to not feel like you can rely on your local ER . Do you have an urgent care or something you could go to just to see what a different place would say? I know it's tough because it all costs money, but if something else comes up maybe try a diff hospital or something, if that's possible for you.

So sorry jammers. I've had a lot of wetness in the past few days as well and have finally resorted to panty liners. I had it with dd (starting around 5-6 months I think?) as well and basically had recurring yeast infections the rest of the pregnancy no matter what I did. And I'd never had one before then so I had no idea what was going on. This morning I felt like I may have the start of one again...my first this pregnancy...and I'm bummed. I was so hoping they wouldn't happen this time. Anyway, the wetness you had sounds similar to the amount I've had so try not to stress. Keep off your feet, rest, drink lots of water, and take care of the yeast infection.

 

[MandaAnda]

I never had an infection with my first pregnancy or this one, but around this time is when discharge can really increase. And I think we can leak some wee when we change position after going. I wipe after a wee, tip forward and back before wiping again and sometimes hold tissue to me on standing, as our womb and baby shift around. Another thing to remember, little leaks aren't usually a big worry, as it can reseal, and our fluid levels can also replenish themselves.

 

[miss_kseniya]

Crikey Cass and Jammers sounds like you are both going through the mill at the moment. Big hugs and hopefully everything will be fine for you both and the last 20 weeks will be stress free x

Congrats on your little lady teacup

 

[jammers77]

Thanks, girls. Your experiences make me feel better! It's slowed down a lot now. And I knew that I couldn't be leaking fluid when I woke up this morning and my pantiliner only had one small spot on it. I'm taking Flagyl for the yeast infection and hoping that clears up whatever may be going on.

babymonkey, no we don't have an urgent care. The ER is our urgent care. LOL Small town stuff. I'm not worried about cost anymore--we've met our yearly deductible after all the ER stuff I've had earlier on this pregnancy, so 100% is covered!! I guess there's an advantage to all that.

I wish I could go to another hospital. I swear ours is just utter crap. The worst is the ER--if you've got a broken bone, you'll be good to go. But anything more complicated you're asking for trouble.

Oh, and I didn't tell you all about the idiot nurse!!! OMG!!! When I got into the examining room, she was asking her routine questions about me. If it was my first pregnancy--when I said I'd been pregnant five times, she gasped. When I mentioned that I've LOST two of those, she never said sorry or anything. THEN she looked at my info sheet and said, "Oh man, I'd hate to be pregnant at 36."

WHAT?! I was in such shock that I literally couldn't think of what to say to that. A woman coming in, fearing an amniotic leak and she says she'd hate to be pregnant at my age.

Then she goes on to ask me if I needed meds for the pain. When I'd talked to the triage nurse, I'd told her that I was having some mild abdominal cramping because of IBS/constipation. But it wasn't worth having Tylenol over--I just told her that because I wanted to make sure it wasn't related to the discharge. So then the idiot nurse says, "Oh ok, well I was going to put in an IV for pain meds." :/ When I discouraged that idea, she said, "Oooook, now what are you in here for?" SMH (or smack HER head)!!

Do they pull some of these ER people out of a hole in the ground? I swear, I'm beginning to think so.

Anyway, thanks girls for reading my rants and troubles. (((HUGS))) I think this is going to be a long rest of the ride. lol

That is just disgusting! I seriously don't know why (or how!) some people are in the jobs they're in!
I'm so sorry you're dealing with hits hope you're feeling better soon! X

Hi Everyone

Scan tomorrow! So excited! Its at 1120 so I am pleased its relatively early and I'm not waiting all day.

Had a really good week so far. My little boy who has global development delays took some steps yesterday and it still doing it today. So super pleased about his progress :-D

Jammers, I have had a simelar experience. Last week I was in the bathroom getting ready, after already having a wee, and was just like wetting myself, but I had no control over it like when waters go. Later that night I smelt my pJ's and it didnt smell like wee. I went to the doctors the next day and she checked baby hb and I had an internal examination too to see if there was any pools of water, but she was happy and just told me to mention it when I had my scan. My midwife told me that if it was waters then they would continue or there would eventually come pains too. I've had neither and still feeling baby so I am happy I must have just wet myself :-S xx

 

[peanutmomma]
