Due to ongoing leakage and my Awesome OB's conscientiousness, I'm going into the hospital tomorrow for one last test to see if what's been leaking for weeks is not merely urine, but somehow amniotic fluid that has sneakily eluded several past tests.
I'll be 37 weeks and 2 days, just two weeks shy of my scheduled c-section, and also full term.
Tomorrow's test includes an amnio, where they'll inject blue dye into my uterus (awesome--not), I'll put in a tampon and walk around for an hour, then pull out the tampon to see if it turns blue. The amnio will also determine if the baby's lungs are fully developed. All past ultrasounds (I get them twice-weekly now) have all shown the baby is doing great--active, kicky, breathing, and all things good.
So we'll see how it goes. My next post might be as a mother of two. Or not.
UPDATED ON MONDAY, 11/22: Yep, the kid is coming today; baby looks good, but apparently, I AM leaking fluid (and they figured this out before the amnio, thankfully.) Stay tuned for some news!
