gushes and gushes of fluid

I have almost continuous gushes of clear fluid pouring out of me soaking my underwear front to back and running down my legs. Sounds like my water broke right? I can't walk 2 feet without more gushing out. I've been to L&D four times and the test comes back negative for amniotic fluid! The first time I could understand it not being that because it was a very small amount but its to the point where I'm cutting my 5 year olds pull ups to wear in my underwear. Anytime I cough, walk or stand this stuff is rushing out!!!!! Im losing my mind over what it could be and tired of going into L&D for them to look at me like a hypochondriac and sending me home. I'm to the point of tears over this and my family and husband are scared and frustrated we don't know what to do.

How far along are you?

I would suggest either going to a diff L&D if you can or call your doctor and tell her what is going on and tell her to talk to L&D about just sending you home because that is crap.

Bring the pull up and have them test that.

That happened to me with both pregnancies. I was always soaked from discharge. It's frustrating and made me feel crazy.

Did they test you for BV? It got that way for me and it turns out that is what I had. *also why I was in preterm labor*

Try to catch some..put it in a ziplock and take that in for them to test.

Id go back. Tell them its constant and you know you aren't peeing. If they dont listen go to a dif hospital.

I live in a small town there's only one hospital and one OB I'm 39 weeks and have been tested for everything under the sun. Its all negative. I've been in so many times, in the beggining it was small gushes now its just pouring out with every move and I mean A LOT. I mean I'm seriously going crazy! I'm already dialated to 4 cm cervix are mid station and baby is dropped. I don't know what it could be and all they have for amnio tests are a swab they rub for one min around my cervix then dip it into another liquid for one min then put a strip in the liquid that gives either one line for pos. Or two for neg.

Request an ultrasound to check level! That could be dangerous..

I don't know why they didn't keep you since you are at 4 cm already. Here they keep you when you get to that point. I would go back in and tell them you want an ultrasound to check your fluid levels just to make sure since they apparently cannot get their heads out of their asses.

Wow I missed the part where you are four cm. Go back in and demand an ultrasound be annoying what are they gonna do throw the pregnant woman for being worried?

I've talked to the doc and she keeps saying women have a copious discharge during the final stages of pregnancy this is way beyond discharge its like someone is dumping cups of water out of my vagina you're right it is crap I want to strangle these people

As do I. I like have to constantly wear a panty liner. Like mine is so bad that it takes the color out of my underwear from the constant discharge if I forget to wear a liner.
