21W 3D 羊水漏れ? Water leaking?


今朝は腹痛も退いた感じで気分はよかった。ところが会社でトイレに行くと、水っぽいDischargeがある。もしや羊水?と急に不安に。今は腹痛はないし、おとといの内診では子宮口は開いてなく、出血、出水(?)はなかったのに・・・。


悩んでいると、お昼過ぎにままから電話。私のウエッブログを読んで、腹痛は治ったのかと心配で電話してきたのだ。今週起きた顛末を話し、水っぽいDischargeの話しをすると、とりあえずお医者さんに聞いてみなさいと言う。


Jasonにも一応助産婦に聞いてみろと言われたので、助産婦ヘルプラインに電話。いつもの親切な助産婦さんが折り返し電話して来た。Dischargeは朝にあったきりで今はないこと、腹痛もないことを伝える。尿か羊水かわからないかと言われたが、わかりっこない。羊水は独特の匂いがあるらしいので、とりあえず、生理パッドをして、そうすれば助産婦や医者が物質の特定をできるから、分娩病棟に電話してみろと言われた。羊水が漏れていたりすると細菌感染や早産の可能性がでてくるから、念のため。


家に帰ってから、分娩病棟に電話してみた。パッドをそのまま着けて、また出水したら連絡くださいと言われた。


だいたい、普段から水っぽいのが出ていたかもしれないけど、今までは特に気にしていなかっただけかもしれない。夜、ちょっと出たので、匂いをかいでみたが、やっぱりわからない。尿でないことは確かだが。


今日も早く寝ることにする。




I did not have much abdominal pains this morning and I was feeling better. But when I went to the toilet at work, I found some watery discharge in my underwear. Is the baby water leaking? Only 2 days ago, a doctor checked my cervix was closed and no bleeding nor watering....


When I could not decide whether to call the midwife again, mom rang me. She had read my weblog about abdominal pains and worried since. I told her my problems this week and mentioned about water leaking. She suggested me calling a doctor.


Jason also e-mailed me saying I should contact midwife for just in case. Ok. I called the midwife help line again. My usual midwife, the kind one, called me back. I explained that the pains had subsided, it was only a small amount of water and no more ever since. She asked me if it is really baby water but I could not tell if it is urine or baby water, of course. She said that the baby water has its distinguish smell and I need to wear a sanitary pad so that doctors or midwifes will be able to tell what it is. The she suggested calling the Labour ward again. If the water is leaking, it may cause some infections to the baby.



I called the Labour Ward after getting home. I was told to wear a pad in the meantime and if the watery discharge come out again, call them.


I have not paid attentions to discharge much. Probably I have always had watery discharge? I smelled it but can not tell. It's definitely not urine, though.



I will go to bed early again.
