I'm 26 weeks pregnant and I've been feeling like I might be leaking amniotic fluid. I'm also noticing that my baby has hiccups quite a lot these days. I'm worried about how quickly the amniotic fluid might decrease if there's a leak and what I should be looking out for in upcoming scans. Can you help me understand what's happening and what steps I should take?

I've been on Novelon for the last four years, and before I started taking it, I rarely had period cramps. But now, after starting it, I began to experience them, and for the last 23 months, the pain's been so bad that I've had to take painkillers. Is this due to Novelon, or are these just normal period cramps?
