Really dislike the on-call doc... WWYD?

in 3rd Trimester

I'm having the same issue as I did last night... sit down to pee, and when I think I'm done, I just keep peeing. When I get up there's no leakage, but every single time i sneeze, cough, or even shift my weight, there's definitely a good amount of fluid that comes out. Now we all have those times when we pee ourselves, but this has been going on steadily for the past 24 hrs. I know you all suggested I smell it, but I'll be honest, I'm completely congested and can't smell a damn thing. 

Anyway, when I called the doc's line to just ask what they thought, the on-call doc basically said, "Sounds like a bladder issue, but you can come in if you want." 

Normally I would have no problem going in and getting it double-checked, but this particular doctor is a raging bytch. She's a younger doc, very cocky, has the worst bedside manner, and makes you feel like a moron for asking any questions at all. 

OK so my question is... would you go in and get checked out anyway, or wait until tomorrow morning after the shift-change and one of the other docs is there?

    As long as you're not in pain, I say wait. I have very little patience for rude people right now!

    Yeah that's kinda what I'm leaning toward... It doesn't help that I'm dealing with elevated BP and herniated disc issues...

    I would just go to the hospital and have L&D triage check you.

    I would go to L&D and get swabbed to see if its amniotic fluid. Just in case.

    There is no L&D triage. Anyone who goes to the ER with pregnancy-related issues gets sent straight up to L&D and you're seen by the on-call doc from your practice, or the hospitalist.

    I'd wait until this morning.  If it's an AF leak, then it's a small one.  Are you soaking liners?

    Tell her you are concerned and let her know she has a horrible bedside manner and that she behaves inappropriately.  You are the patient and you pay her salary!  It is absolutely okay to tell a doctor if you feel they are being a *** if they are, I would just try to find the most non-offensive and diplomatic way to say it (i.e. keep it professional)!  You may help future patients if you let her know.

    I'd just suck it up and go in.  I'd rather deal with a witchy lady for a little bit then spend another night worrying about it.  =)

    I don't know if it's different for a leak, rather than your water full on breaking, but I was always told with my first pregnancy that once your water breaks, don't stay at home because of risk of infection.  I would think it would be the same for a leak, but not sure.

    I use Poise pads, but I'm not soaking them. If I were just using a pantyliner I would be.

    Normally I would have NO problem voicing my feelings about this kind of stuff, but honestly, at this point in my pregnancy I know it would never come out diplomatically - it would come out straight up and dirty. LOL

    You could have a slow leak of water and if that is the case and it's been 24 hours already, you should get checked. I'd just go to the ER and see if someone else can check you.

    Ugh.  That stinks.  I would still go in.  It sounds like it could very well be that your water has broken if you are continually leaking.
