Maybe false positive for amniotic fluid?

I’m 30 + 6 weeks pregnant and a few days ago felt like when I was getting ready for work i had a lot of discharge but felt very watery, I got worried as it was uncontrollable and completely soaked through to my shorts (was a yellow like colour). I called the hospital and they told me to come to DAU. I had some tests done and the doctor said most likely thrush, but she also tested for amniotic fluid and she was shocked that it came back positive. I’ve now been in hospital a few nights so they can keep a close eye if anything happens

But… I had a scan yesterday and they said there’s still a normal amount of fluid in there it could have possibly been a hind leak and I’ve read that these can seal back up. I’ve had some uncomfortable tightenings especially through the night but none since about 5am this morning. I’m quite confused now because the doctor that came in this morning (one who I’ve never seen before and also never asked me a lot of questions ag all) suggested it may of been a false positive test for the amniotic fluid??? But never offered any extra tests and instead told me I have to stay another night and carry of the antibiotics and steroid injections in case baby comes early. He also told me the uncomfortable tightens is probably just baby’s position but I think I’m far enough now to know what the different baby positions feel like🙄plus, on the monitors they have been showing as contractions or Braxton hicks.

I feel as if I’m being shrugged off - through out this process I’ve been on antibiotics, monitors, steroid injections, drip, blue light transferred to a different hospital in case baby came. Surely after all that they can’t just tell me oh it’s probably a false positive but offer me no more tests to double check…

Any advice??

Can’t they run the test again? My waters broke and during the hospital stay a senior consultant told me oh bless you, you have zero waters left! But on the scan i had more than regular amount left, and yet I was still constantly leaking amniotic fluid!

They told me the test was negative. I told them my waters definitely broke and they kept telling me no. I was persistent and knew I was right , had another check and it was confirmed they broke x be persistent if you feel something off

High risk

I’m considered high risk because I was fully dilated when I had an emergency C-section with my first and there’s risks I could go into pre term labour so I have cervical length scans every 2 weeks between 16-22/24 and I’m aloud to try for a vbac if I go into spontaneous labour by 40 weeks but I’ll have a planned C-section booked for week 40 ( which I’m really hoping doesn’t happen )Just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences I’m just very overwhelmed and hoping people have maybe had a good successful full term pregnancy & birth despite what IVE previously mentioned x

Which induction method??

Im at the hospital now for induction and dont know which method to go for.
I initially didnt want the balloon because the sweeps really hurt me and I feel it will be most uncomfortable but seems like the highest success rate? And no hormones.

What has everyone else done and recommend?

Nausea

I’m 6weeks 4days and my nausea is HORRIBLE ! I wake up immediately feeling like I’m about to throw up to the point I have to sit, breath in extra big breaths, I might feel light headed or like I’m going to pass out. This will literally last ALL DAY & has been for the past 5/6 days now. When I try to eat something I take very small bites as it feels like I’m going to throw up what I just put down. My mom told me about apple juice which has been helping but my goodness I cannot take it 😭 what has helped you guys who deal with bad nausea ?

Anyone had a growth scan around these dates?

I’ve got scans;
26+5
27+3
28+5

And just wondering what everyone’s babies weighed on/around these dates ? (And what centiles)


My oldest has a scan at 27+6 so I know roughly with that but interested to know how much growth tends to happen in such a short period ?

Rest

Anyone else lead a super busy lifestyle?

I am none stop between housework, dog walks, shopping, decorating, my toddler, nursery runs, work etc.

Sometimes I feel a kick and I’m like “oh yeah” because I barely sit down or rest.


Will this lead to any complications it’s generally has my anxiety higher as people keep telling me to rest but it’s not an option, not unless people helped me out 🙈
