Just got back from our anatomy scan. I have been having some watery discharge for the past few days...well, I may have been right in thinking I was leaking amniotic fluid.
The babies are doing great - all perfect. Measurements all great. She is 432g and he is 459g. But, her fluid looks a little low. On closer look at my cervix with the wand, the good news is that my cervix is long and closed. But there is some "beaking" of her membrane and the sonographer couldn't see it closed across at the bottom. So it may have a hole and is leaking.
This means that, I need to go in to the Obgyn tomorrow and get it swabbed so we can test if it is amniotic fluid and also to check for infection. If I am leaking, then I may be put on bed rest and will need to be monitored for fluid levels and infections. She said if the membrane has ruptured it could also re-seal - sometimes does.
I am so scared, I am shaking. My world is upside down and no matter how much I try to focus on the positive, I am struggling to keep it together. I can't stop crying and I don't know what I will do if this turns out negatively.
Oh how could the universe lay this on me now?

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you are so scared ...understandable. All you can do is wait on the results and hold on until then. There are so many issues that can happen (one of our girls had a 2 vessel chord vs 3 vessel that babies should have and it made me a nervous wreck at first but all turned out well) but to counter all the things that can go wrong there is so much medical technology can do too. Also amazing that the body can do it's thing too and possible reseal it(I had no idea). I'm crossing my fingers that isn't even the issue but it sounds like there can be some positive intervention. Keep us posted and good luck.
