Patient's question:
All symptoms: I'm due on the 18th, had a small amount of leakage last night, three times. Today, also three times, still a small amount with a bit of redness. The doctor said it was amniotic fluid. Also, my abdomen is a bit bloated.Onset time and cause: Treatment status:
Help needed: Is the amniotic fluid bloody? Do I need to be admitted immediately?
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: In your current condition, it is necessary to go to the hospital for delivery immediately and cannot wait at home anymore. The fluid you mentioned previously should be amniotic fluid, but we cannot be certain if it is indeed amniotic fluid, right?Recommendation: Amniotic fluid does not contain blood, but during cervical dilation, bleeding may occur, which is what we call "showing signs of labor." You are currently experiencing signs of labor and have also broken your water. Waiting at home in this situation carries certain risks. Please go to the hospital immediately for examination and delivery.
