Leaking water

Amber03 · **Leaking water**

I am 33 weeks and this seemed to happen with my last baby. I was at Goodwill and I did go to the bathroom before I left home. Anyway, I felt a little uncomfortable because my underwear was wet. When I got home I changed my underwear and it didn't soak through my shorts but it didn't smell like urine. Anybody experience this? I didn't get contractions today but I did feel some pressure.

I would call your doctor & see if you need to go in & be checked. Your water may be breaking-you need to be carefu.

I had the same thing happen with my last baby. It was the same day I had tripped over a bottom step and fallen flat on my tummy, so it scared me. I went in and they tested it so easily--its just a strip of coated paper they touch to the fluid and can tell if its amniotic fluid or not. Mine wasn't--everything was fine.
I'm sure if you decided to go have it checked, it would be a quick, easy and very ressuring appointment.

If you are worried you should place a quick call to your doc. That being said its likely just an increase in discharge. Mine is getting insane at this point.

I agree. My water did break with both my kids and the first baby it was a gush the second a trickle and I know this may be TMI, but it didn't smell like urine. It didn't really smell at all when it was the fluid.

A lot of times I pee when I sneeze.

If your doc checks you out and you're ok, I recommend some light pads. They even make them for thong underwear now. :happy dance:

How far along are you?

When my water broke at 30 weeks, I thought I had wet myself, but it was pink streaked, so I knew it wasn't urine. (Not all amniotic fluid is pink, it is usually clear, but I had placental problems) I went to the hospital and was checked and it was determined I was PROM. I was admitted, but I never went into labor. It is possible to have your water break and stay pregnant! During my entire hospital stay, I leaked fluid constantly, sometimes a little, sometimes more. I guess my point is, if your water broke, it would be a constant thing. If this doesn't happen again in the next day or so, I wouldn't worry unless you feel contractions. If it does, then I would see a doctor.
