Pregnancy discharge
I am 24 weeks pregnant From 4/5 days I was having water like discharge that soaking my panty in the morning and whenever I used to stand i was having discharge with no smell, Dr said it's membrane ruptured so you have to terminat this pregnancy and I went for second opinion and Dr kept in observation and gave the antibiotic and suddenly the discharge stopped and he said it is due to infection so now I am confused which Dr is right and what should I do i am so panic
24weeks pregnancy…it will be too early to think that it will be membrane rupture and termination of pregnancy….2nd doctor opinion is looking practically correct… continue oral antibiotics, keep clean white pad … watch for watery discharge or foul smelling discharge, fever , bleeding, baby movement…. counsult your gynaecologist
Next Steps
Conservative management till 30-32 weeks

If it is amniotic fluid leaking it will not stop
If it is infection it may decrease and gradually stop
Do keep one pad and observe
Better get one scan for afi
If it decrease then chances of leak are there
But it needs examination

We must treat any underlying infection and monitor the baby's wellbeing and amniotic fluid levels by amniotic fluid levels. Sometimes a higher leak can seal on its own and the leaking may stop.
If it were a membrane rupture, we focus on giving antibiotics to prevent any infection and can wait till the baby has attained maturity (up to 34-37 weeks)
So, if the baby is keeping well, then we can try and extend the pregnancy till the maximum possible extent that we can achieve safely without risking any infection to the mother and baby.
