I have had to wear liners most of this pregnancy and recently graduated to pads :/ boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2002025 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 08:33:57 +0000 blackbird 2002025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: I only had issues PP....and only while jumping rope or doing high impact stuff at Crossfit. Now I'm 21 weeks and have a nasty cough and cold so these coughing fits are doing me in. I've peed myself countless times now :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001978 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 07:22:26 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2001978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bubbles: crap. This is pretty much exactly what I'm experiencing. I've had to start wearing panty liners. :( maybe my ob can check at my appointment tomorrow... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001949 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 06:21:05 +0000 Rocker2014 2001949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: I kept thinking I was leaking fluid from about 35 weeks on, doc said I wasn't. But, ultrasound on my due date indicated fluid levels so low that they sent me directly to the hospital for an induction. E was born 2 days later without issue.</p> <p>@Torchwood: I had a bad head cold at 38 weeks and that's when it started for me - I had to wear pads because every cough and sneeze made me pee! Issue resolved completely about 2 weeks pp. Fun times :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001927 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 04:29:03 +0000 BandDmommy 2001927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: mine started PP </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001926 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 04:19:38 +0000 Bubbles 2001926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a slow leak of fluid that started on my due date - it was like a constant feeling of dampness that wasn't even enough to be pee, more like I had just got a bit sweaty or something. I waited a day before I decided I should get it checked out, and it turned out to be amniotic fluid. The hospital staff made quite a drama out of it and insisted on inducing immediately and iv antibiotics etc - but LO was completely fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001811 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 22:41:42 +0000 78h2o 2001811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: I think with my first pregnancy it started near the end...but I can't remember how many weeks. I had the same issue for a few weeks postpartum and then it totally resolved. This time around, I think it started around 14 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001807 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 22:35:28 +0000 Torchwood 2001807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those who are talking about peeing themselves during/after pregnancy, when did that start? I went to nearly 34 weeks last time, and never had even a hint of that sort of trouble. So does it usually happen later than that? Would love to avoid it again even if I go to term, but not too optimistic since I already have a smaller than normal bladder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001804 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 22:32:01 +0000 78h2o 2001804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: lol! That makes me smile. </p> <p>I pee myself everytime I puke, cough or sneeze. Pregnancy definitely isn't glamorous.</p> <p>@Mrs. Lion: too funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001770 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 21:40:19 +0000 singingbee 2001770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I did this at our baby class. I was 34 weeks, got up to go to the bathroom and my seat was completely wet. Thought my water broke, called doctor,went to our hospital, everything. Nope, lo kicked my bladder and I peed everywhere. They kept asking me if I was still wet and I was like, well, yes! It was so embarrassing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001670 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 20:15:24 +0000 jetsa 2001670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: this happened to twist, she had a thread on here about it at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001668 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 20:14:19 +0000 jetsa 2001668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: @BandDmommy: I'm 20 weeks and pee every time I sneeze, this never happened with my first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001633 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:45:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 2001633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: @BandDmommy: @Mrs. Lion: lol, glad I'm not alone. The other night DH heard me say, "oh, mannnn.." and he goes "did you pee yourself again?" :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001620 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:30:40 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2001620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I called my OB about this when I was pregnant last time and she sent me to L&amp;D to get it checked. DH "affectionately" wrote all over the bill for that visit "peed on herself visit". Thanks, DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001619 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:30:39 +0000 anonysquire 2001619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: ya. It was bad lol. Atleast iN my bathroom though. But they told me to bring a sample to the office so I was squatting over a paper towel in a tupperware. So pretty much all my water was in there. So gross!! And yes I threw it away haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001618 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:29:49 +0000 BandDmommy 2001618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: That happened to me PP... *hangs head in shame </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001612 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:28:08 +0000 sorrycharlie 2001612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: oh lord. I squatted to pick something up the other day and full on peed myself. </p> <p>I thought I had a slow leak with DD1, but they swabbed me and said nope. How mortifying. Just ridiculous discharge. So Now I'm sorta in the same boat..I never really know anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001608 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:27:17 +0000 BandDmommy 2001608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a lot of discharge? If so (I know this sounds gross) does it smell sweet? If so, that's amniotic fluid you are leaking. I've never had leaking amniotic fluid but my water breaks early (34 weeks with DS and 37 weeks with DD) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001604 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:24:48 +0000 anonysquire 2001604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: you squat over a piece of paper towel and see what comes out haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001603 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 19:24:10 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2001603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: whoa! What is the squat test?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001539 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 18:03:09 +0000 anonysquire 2001539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I measured 2 weeks lower at my last appt so I asked if I was leaking and they said it's possible. So I did the squat test and my water full on broke. So ya.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001514 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 17:45:07 +0000 blackbird 2001514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started leaking after my cervadil or whatever and I had no idea. A nurse figured it out! I do know that the amniotic sac can repair itself soemtimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001494 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 17:32:30 +0000 yellowbird 2001494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a slow leak that was undetected. I thought I was leaking but wasn't sure. My midwife commented at my delivery that there was no fluid. LO was born with a fever and had to have antibiotics :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001481 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 17:24:43 +0000 NovBaby1112 2001481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a slow, high leak with DD. I believe it happened on my due date- every time I got up, a very small amount f fluid would come out. I kept thinking I was just peeing myself a bit. It wasn't enough to make me think my water broke. It kept happening though so my DH said lets go get checked out, and sure enough, my water did break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001450 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 16:45:30 +0000 Mamasig 2001450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had low fluid towards the end of my pregnancy. The doctor asked if I felt anything leaking which I didn't. She did a quick test with some strips to see if amniotic fluid was leaking and it wasn't. They could always test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001433 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 16:32:42 +0000 matador84 2001433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to my BFF. I can't even believe it still. Water broke on a Friday and discharged her from hospital. She delivered on MONDAY. Her water had definitely broken but they didn't do an amniotic fluid test to be sure. Had to have major antibiotics. Pretty sure if they'd done the test they would have known! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slow-leak-of-amniotic-fluid#post-2001406 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 16:09:15 +0000 LuLu Mom 2001406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have personal experience, however a coworker had this about a week before she got induced, it was discovered there that the baby was in very low fluid. She had no idea, she thought it was just an increase in CM or loose bladder. </p>
