Hi. Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

Please do not worry, as you have crossed 3 weeks of pregnancy . Even if you land in labour pains and bag of water doesn't break doctor can do a procedure called ARM, artificial rupture of membrane, and help you out.

You keep watch on baby's kick counts. Any discharge or reduced baby kick count should alert you.

I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.
