A weeee problem

I seem to have lost bladder control!
I've just woken up to some niggles and nausea, and thats fine. Not expecting anything to happen immediately (2weeks of prelabour with Jenna and all....). Shane was rubbing my back, and then I got a swift swipe of the old bladder. Ignored it the first time, second time I had to get up and go to the loo. Thank god for the en suite cause I dribbled the whole way there! And I have pretty good bladder control.
Since then I have been dribbling out ?wee? or could this be the dreaded hindwaters thing? Its the most bizarre feeling. Ihave absolutely not a scrap of control over the leaking. Like none!
So I have put a towel under the sheets, and I'm wearing one of Jenna's nappies (just kidding.... its a pad) taken a couple of panadiene and I'm hitting the hay again very soon.

Completely wierd for me. Not sure what to make of it. Oh - and you should hear my insides churning! gurgle gurgle gurgle. Its really funny.

If you have absolutely no control of it Fi, as in you can't stop the flow at all, I doubt it's wee.....

I doubt it too... all the best Fi! (hugs)

FI, hoping that your getting some sleep now. But as Sarah said, if you have no control over it at all, then I too doubt that it's wee. You could have a tear in your bag of waters or it could be your hindwaters just trickling.

Either way, I'm sure bub is going to be alot kinder to you this time than what Jenna was

Ditto what everyone else has said!

Looks like things are happening, Fi!

Good luck!

Probably TMI, but did it smell like wee? I know with my water I thought I just lost control of my bladder. Good Luck

I got back to sleep at about 4:30 or so, and then Jenna woke up. Typical child, always got to be in the limelight.
Anyway, the dribbling is still there. Its really odd, everytime I move I get a little gush. Have called the hossy, they have asked me to put a pad on and if its soaked through in an hour, then its not hindwaters, and they want me to come in for a visit and a monitoring session. Joy!
Apparently they will let me go for about 18hrs before they start an induction

I have no doubt a pad will soaked in an hour..... Not good niggles this morning though, just a dull ache. LVs for me girls! Fancy if I go on my due date. Who woulda thunk it!

ETA - They asked me to do the sniff test too Astrid, I guess it smells more like seminal fluid than wee, but really I didn't think that fresh wee stunk anyway! so maybe I'll go and smell my wet knickers again in 15mins or so and see what they smell like.

OOoo good luck, Fi!
Will you let them induce you?

**MistyFying** · December 15th, 2006, 06:20 AM

Go Fi Go1 Hope this it for you :-)

**Trish** · December 15th, 2006, 06:35 AM

Go the undie stiffer

Fi, I'm pretty sure you can go for up to 3 days before needing an induction with broken or leaky waters. They just put you on AB's.

Hoping bub gets a wriggle on soon.

Truck loads of labour vibes for you hun

No idea if posterior or not. I guess they will tell me this morning.
I better get off my butt and do some walking around to get this started.
I'll let you all know what the go is this afternoon.
