More Excitement: 38 Weeks Tomorrow

Since yesterday’s “plug” incident, there has been more excitement. I called the doctor’s office because my sister-in-law mentioned that maybe I should just let them know. However, I left a message and I missed the call when the phone nurse called back. Then, last night in the middle of the night I started “leaking” water!!!! It wasn’t what I would consider big amounts, but it continued consistently through the night and morning. So, when I called the doctor's office back this morning, I mentioned it just in case and they said to come in.

They ran a couple of tests on the fluid to see if it was, in fact, amniotic fluid, and they came back “inconclusive” (PH test and looking under a microscope). Inconclusive… LOL, of COURSE... At that point they wanted another ultrasound because it was clear that I was losing fluid, they just couldn’t determine what kind or how much. The ultrasound showed that the levels look fine as of now, but they said that if I continue to “leak” at the same rate as I am now by this time tomorrow, I will need to call the doctor and determine whether or not an induction should be considered!!! I didn’t really think it was that big of a “thing” since the levels look okay as of now, AND because I'm only dilated 1cm, but the doctor said even the rate I am leaking could be bad if it continues.

It may just stop, who knows?! I really doubt it will be tomorrow for some reason... I just expect him to be late. And, I'd rather NOT get induced, but if it's a matter of his safety then obviously that's the best option. SO EXCITING!! Watch, it will be another 2-3 weeks for me... I am feeling really good, just leaky, haha. ;-)
