[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for everyone's input. I thought I was being a bit over the top with the worry, so this is all helpful perspective. Re: microscope test, they did to what they called a "ferning" test under a microscope, twice, in addition to the little test strips they used. But from what I've read, both tests have a high false negative rate if they're undertaken more than a couple of hours after the rupture, and I'm a little concerned about that because it was 4.5 hours after the rupture when they did the first tests (and a couple hours later than that when they tested again). Lastly, I wonder since it's been a few days now with no further events, if that's further indication that everything is probably fine. But somebody made a good point that this early in pregnancy, even if it was a rupture, there might not be any further signs of premature labor to indicate anything is going on. So probably still warrants requesting an ultrasound to double check things. [/quote]
