Waters or discharge?

[visitor1]

How do you know if your leaking??

Lately i have felt awfully wet...and i have no idea why..its never happened in my last 2 pregnancys.

Could it just be alot of EXTRA discharge???

I feel embarrassed by it and always tell DH i feel as if ive peed my pants

I feel the same and mine is just a load of watery looking CM. I would asume if its your waters it'd be trickling down your legs? But im not sure cause whenever my waters broke it was with a huge gush. When's your next appointment? If its soon just ask them to test it, if not maybe ask to go in if you are worried?

I have an appointment on Friday at 9am....so if i dont feel to embarrassed ill bring it up....im not very open with people face to face on these kinda issues!

Ive never had my waters break so not sure of the feeling....however, i remember when Jasmine was born the Dr commented how little fluid there was and then i mentioned that i felt (kinda) similar to now and they assumed id been leaking for a good 1-2 weeks prior to her birth.

I best keep an eye on it!

Thanks for your help!

Kim with each of my pg's my extra discharge has become more and more, to the point with this pg I've either got to change undies two to three times a day or wear a panty liner.

If your worried give the hossy a ring, I did this last week as I thought my waters were trickling and the just did a swab and it was negative, so not to bad.

Hi there Kim

I've had this really bad from about 20weeks - to the point where I've been to the hospital 3 times to get it checked - yep that's right 3 times with the speculum and a swab - and each time (thank God) it came back negative - mine has no colour, no smell and is quite runny.

It could just be that you have a little bladder incontinence and unfortunately the more pregnancies you have the more liklihood that it is this - however I'm still not convinced as it doesn't look or smell like urine.

So long story short, I'm on the nanna incontinence pads (how embarrasing) but they seem to keep me dryer than just liners and I have to change them 2-3 times a day - that's how "wet" I feel - which has gotten worse as the weeks have progressed

I'd definitely mention it on Friday but FWIW I thought I'd share my lovely experience with you - and I did have something similar last time but no where near as bad and no where near as early.

Hey are you carrying lower this time?? that can be a factor also....I'm carrying this baby very, very low

a friend of mine (who was a week off due date) thought she was wetting herself for about 3 days before she had a routine check up. they tested it and it was her waters. so anything is possible. hope its all ok for you, but i would definately get it checked out. :-)

Thanks Amanda and Dianna....you have made me feel better....!

Bub is always very low so that might not be helping...and def the more babies i have the worst the bladder can stand up to prressure!!!
