Not sure if I should be concerned.PLEASE HELP!!!

Ok i am 36 weeks i went to L&D last night for my BP it has been high the last couple weeks and i jus recently started geting bad headaches with it now,they monitored me and sent me home with the 24 hour urine sample and i am 2cm dialated.and said i have some protein in my urine.they checked my cervix once while me being there.since i been home i have a clear discharge and have changed my panties atleast 2times from them being soaked over night.what should i do,im not supose to go back to the hospital until monday morning(tommorrow).

If you are concerned I'll say go to the hospital. To me it clearly says you are having extra discharge and you need to go to have them check you out. Don't worry if you were just there because that is what they there for. I had preclamsia with my first two pregnancies and this condition is not something to play with. Good luck with everything.

Discharge is normal. Buy some panty liners. I go through 2-3 a day

That what happens qhwn my waters started to leak... Id go in

Is it watery discharge or slimy?

Quoting Christina/Chrissy:" Is it watery discharge or slimy?"

Its a slimy clear discharge and clear liquid

How much liquid?

I would just call and tell them you think your water is leaking... They can do 3 different tests on it to see... But it could also just be discharge....
How soaked we're your underwear?

I'm 35 weeks and am doing the same thing I was told it was normal and nothing to worry about unless I had a gush of water But if you are scared then you should go back in just to ease your mind.. After all that's what they are there for so they wont think anything of it even if it's nothing major..

Deep breath. Its sounds like pre-eclampsia and I know its scary. The fluid may be from the urine and it may be from the uterus. If you go to the hospital tomorrow you are safe. Ask then to do the strip test for acidity. Relax for this test because if your water hasn't broken its going to be a little uncomfortable. They take a yellow strip of small paper with non lubricated gloves and put it into your vagina if it turns blue then its time to induce if not then you are leaking urine. The mucous is normal also look for white flecks (kind of looks like snowflakes) or a red tinge. Either means labor is going to be starting soon.   Now on to the pre-eclampsia I had this with my first child who is now 10 and very happy and healthy. Try to relax if they sent you home then more than likely they also told you to rest in bed all day today. They are seeing if Bed Rest will control your blood pressure and listen to them. With the 24 hour urine they are checking for UTI and protein. I understand right now your nerves are horrible just relax if your sweet LO is going to come now he/she will be healthy and ready. Bayliegh the 10 year old came at 35 weeks and 6 days and went home 2 days later. Just take a deep breath and listen to your doctors orders. Lots of Love and prayers from this side of the screen!

U can leak fluid without a gush... I'm 26 weeks and leaking... So I would always recommend getting it tested to be on the safe side.

My oldest sister had protein in her urine and got put in the hospital she had toxiemia,that was with her first child.my neice was. Almost 4 in a half weeks early n they both could have died if she didn't have her when she did n it was even scarrier cauz my sister was only 17 at the time my neice weighd 5.2 but she is 7 years old now in 2nd grade and is healthy..so good luck!!
