I am 35 weeks pregnant and experiencing abundant water leaking. The fluid is clear, and the leaking stops when I lay down but starts again when I walk or stand up. I do not think I have contractions, and the baby's movements are frequent but not painful. What could this be, and what should I do?

The abundant water leaking you are experiencing could be a sign that your amniotic sac has ruptured,...

I have symptoms that make me think I have chlamydia, such as discharge and sometimes itchiness, but I got a full panel test done twice and both tests came back negative. I noticed these symptoms a few months ago, but they weren't very consistent until now. I have been sexually inactive for about 3 months. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I’m taking birth control (Alysena 28) and will have sedation tomorrow. I heard it might reduce the effectiveness of birth control. Do I need to take an extra pill after the surgery and then continue my regular schedule?

I am five weeks and five days pregnant with my second baby and am not feeling any nausea. I remember having nausea during my first pregnancy, but I don't have it this time. I have other symptoms like breast tenderness, occasional back pain, and immense exhaustion, but no nausea. Should I be worried about my lack of morning sickness? I’ve read some studies that suggest a lack of nausea might be correlated with miscarriage. Should I try to contact my OB before my scheduled appointment on 4/20?

I just had my period last week, ending on Thursday, and I am now spotting bright pink. I am not using any contraceptives, and the spotting seems to be getting heavier. I had unprotected sex on Sunday, January 15. My periods are generally regular, and I have not taken any emergency contraceptive pills or regular medications. I have light cramps but no significant pain, and no vaginal discharge or blood clots. What could be causing this spotting, and what should I do?
