So I thought I might be leaking amniotic fluid last night.
I took a shower and an hour later, my underwear was kinda wet. So I called my doctor. He was concerned and asked me to come to the birthing center. He said if I was leaking, I might have to deliver the baby that night. So of course KC and I were freaking out, b/c a) we weren't ready and b) we haven't even started packing an overnight bag.
We got there a little after midnight. And no one was there, so everything went fast. This nurse did some tests and let me say, I am such a wussie. They were simple ones. A swab here. A pap smear-like one there. Cervix checking. And all three hurt like hell. Mind you, the nurse went fast and hard on all three tests. But both KC and I could help, but wonder, how the hell am I going to get through child birth if I was jumping off the table with these tests. I was kinda scared before. But now I am definitely am.
The nurse came back and said I wasn't leaking amniotic fluid. Thankfully. She said sometimes when you're pregnant, your body temperature rises so much it literally melts your discharge. So while it was clear, it wasn't amniotic fluid. I totally overreacted. Oops!
Good news is the baby's heart beat is great and we actually saw a contraction on the monitor. I didn't feel a thing when it happened. The nurse reassured me, I would soon enough.
