I have 2 suggestions: 1.) As far as I know every OB has 24 hour coverage. If you call the office, the answering service will page your doctor or the doctor on call. or 2.) Go to the hospital NOW. At 41 weeks it safe to assume you're going to deliver fairly soon. The ER will test the fluid to see if it's urine or amniotic fluid. If your water has broken, they will admit you. This happened to me in the middle of the night at 40 weeks and I went directly to the hospital.they tested the fluid (my water did break) ,and I was admitted. Please try to relax. Write back in a few weeks and tell us about the baby!
