I was at work around lunch time and felt a sudden wet feeling, I could tell it was discharge but a lot, so I felt like I had wet my pants a bit. I knew I hadn't done that because I had not long gone to the toilet. So I went back to toilet to realise that this fluid was clear. I thought bout it a while then tried calling a couple people close to me but couldn't get hold of them. I wasn't sure if it was normal. Ended up speaking to Ob receptionist who told me to come in straight away - I told her I can't because I'm so far away so she said I need to go to hospital and how far is that. I went to hospital, thinking it was nothing anyway after the the nurses decide I need to see the doctor - I sit in the waiting room to have the doctor come out and say I'll be back in a bit... She went and had a smoke break!
They did a scan and she said there seems to be plenty of fluid still in there. She ordered me to bed rest, not even return to work to collect my stuff, until at least tomorrow. Then she got me to do a swab and apparently in 10mins this swab stick is supposed to turn black if it is fluid there was no need to wait she'll call me when the result is back. But by time i got to car and went to reverse I had to give way to her going home in for her lunch break. I know she is entitled to this but I'm concerned, if it is amniotic fluid, how serious is this amount?
Sorry for the very long winded post but it's so frustrating living where there are no services and only one loopy (termed by the towns population). She seemed quite concerned and stressed importance of bed rest. But that is it.... So I gather if no developments I go to work as normal tomorrow?
