Chelleg, I rang them and explained my problem (that the doctor thinks I have a hind water leak) and asked if I could come in for them to confirm as I can't wait 5 weeks and take time off work if that's not what it is, plus I'm going crazy with worry and it could be unecessary. They clearly said they don't see women until 18 weeks, and if my scan's booked to wait till after then (my original scan booked in 5 weeks). The lady said to go back to my doctor and he will deal with it till then as he is supposed to (sharecare). I rang them as I don't feel confident in my GP dealing with a amniotic fluid leak if this is indeed what it is, and I thought maybe they could use those swab things to check for sure..

I think what I'll do is see the doctor this week and ask for an earlier scan referral to check the fluid. I'll tell him I don't want to wait till my morph scan, and I am seeing it's pointless for me to get the actual morph scan done earlier than the original 20 weeks I had. I'll ask for one of the bulk billing scans just to check the fluid in the meantime. *TMI** I stayed off my feet yesterday and still had fluid leaking to the point I had to change my pants a few times, so I'm feeling this is not okay to rest and see what happens.

I'm having 18 people here on Christmas day, and I need to know what's happening before then, I don't want to deal with the stress of that if I'm having an amniotic leak, they can have it somewhere else.

Just things like this are making me realize I am within my rights to get this checked earlier...it's too much to ask me to wait till the morph scan.

Thankyou heaps for your advice and replies.
