Question : I have been up to pass water about 20 times tonight, obviously only a small dribble, or a little more sac time. `i am 85. `have had very little sleep. feel well otherwise
Just to aadd that during the day `i am ok. Had an internal op earlier this yea r and `i am wondering whether when`i am lying flat this puts pressure on the bladder
How long will you be. Want to go back to bed

Brief Answer:
Visit the hospital at the earliest
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Your membranes have ruptured and with less water inside your baby has less space and therefore is vulnerable. You should get in touch with your obstetrician at the earliest and arrange for a quick meet, preferably at the hospital where you are booked for delivery. Based on his findings he would be able to suggest the next step.
Please do not ignore it. Take it seriously or your baby could get compromised.
Regards

What a lotos nonsense `I am 85 and not having a baby - so my waters have not broke!!.
Brief Answer:
Deepest apologies for getting it wrong.
Detailed Answer:
I am really sorry. I had been confused by the dribbling, sac and internal op (seemed like internal os) mentioned in your query. My deepest apologies for having got it wrong. The entire scenario and therefore the answer changes. In case you are still having it, you need to take ORS (oral rehydration solution) to make up for the lost water and salts.
Please describe the present condition and the issues where I could be of service, and surely I would guide you further.
