Question : I am wondering if I should go to the hospital. I am 17 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I am 35 years old and am suffering from low amniotic fluid. I have had 6 ultra sounds done. one was a level 2 ultrasound. my OB is in the middle of transferring by services to a higher level of care. Last night I started spotting and this morning a passed a clot the size of a quarter. I put a call into the OB that is transferring my services over 2 hours ago. I am also taking a baby aspirin daily.
