leaking... But leaking what?

[Catastrophic]

Ok, i'm having trouble with the wetness factor down there...
I've looked on a couple of websites and they have said to place a pad down and collect what ever it is... And smell it if it smells like urine it would be that... Which it doesnt...

i'm thinking its just discharge, they say discharge increases alot during pregnancy, hey? I'm so confused its like i have forgotten this stuff from when i was preg with DD...

But what if its beanys water leaking... How would i know? whats the tell tale signs?

Did the fluid fill the pad? Amniotic fluid smells like semen.

Its most likely just normal discharge but I think you should call your hospital or ob or midwife or just go in to be checked out...it is always better safe than sorry!

Ok, i'm having trouble with the wetness factor down there... it has got worst over the last couple of days... having to need to wear a pad, all the time...

I've looked on a couple of websites on what leakign might be and they have said to place a pad down and collect what ever it is... And smell it if it smells like urine it would be that... Which it doesnt... or if it smells sweet then its waters, but it doesnt really smell like anything...

i'm thinking its just discharge, they say discharge increases alot during pregnancy, hey? I'm so confused its like i have forgotten this stuff from when i was preg with izzy...

But what if its beanys water leaking, but they wouldnt be leaking this early would they? ... How would i know? whats the tell tale signs?

I would go see a doctor. If its leaking waters then it is a real concern because of how far along you are not. If its not then there is no harm done.

Its always better to be safe than sorry.

waters do have a fairly distinct smell. different from normal dischargey smells (sorry if TMI! LOL!) and yeah, pretty much like semen.

i would call your care provider and just ask. better to have them giggle at you and send you home then worry at home.

HTH

yep i would go get it checked - if you are that worried about it better to get a scan than to have to go around sniffing used pads to analyse what it is yourself and STILL not being sure.
geez this is all so glamorous isnt it!!!!!!!!

Thanks... Wasnt there more replies yesterday tho and only one thread? Or was that just my imagination?

I havent been to the doctors yet, can't get in, going to ring them again this morning see if they have any cancellations,But i am prettys sure its not the waters, just needed resassurance... Thanks Alan (I did read your post as well and try it)

personally i would say its discharge. It can get pretty yucky down there especially when pregnant. The warm weather doesnt help. If it becomes itchy or smelly.. go get it checked as you might have thrush (which is common in pregnancy)

Doctor doesnt think its waters, just heavy discharge which is normal during pregnancy...

good to hear - and glad you gpt it checked!
