Ok ladies, I need advice/reassurance/sympathy! LOL
I swear the last 3 days (at 35.5 weeks pregnant) I've been leaking non-stop. I feel like I can't go more than 2 hours without changing a panty liner. Is this normal???
I am sitting here right now and I swear I can feel it ... leaking...
It's starting to make me insane, I feel chaffed and gross.
Please halp.

@.twist.: What is the fluid like? Is it pee? Does it smell like pee? Or is there a possibility you could be leaking amniotic fluid?? If so, you really need to tell your care provider - they can do a swab and test the fluid....
I've been peeing myself a little bit every time I stand up for the last few weeks so it's pretty normal!

That does seem kind of excessive to me. I'd probably call my doctor honestly! You're getting so close

I dunno. I read that it could smell sweet? But I really can't tell you since I have tried not to sniff it.... hahaha

@.twist.: It would be really easy for your doctor to check. Just a simple swab!

@Cherrybee: I don't think it's ALL pee. I know some of it has to be, but definitely not all. I've noticed that when I stand up after peeing a little will come out, but this is ... different.

@Running Elley: Good to know! Thanks.
I have a doc appointment coming up on thursday so I'll give them a call and maybe they can swab it then.

@.twist.: When my water broke it didn't smell sweet. I leaked pee my whole pregnancy (though not that much!) and the night my water broke was no exception. So, when I did smell it, it smelled like pee. I called my doctor and said verbatim, "Either my water broke or I peed myself, and I honestly can't tell which one."
Long story short, I would get checked out just in case!

@.twist.: You really do need to call your care provider then. If your membranes have a little tear and you are leaking waters slowly your baby is no longer protected from infection. It may be nothing but it's really important to get it checked.

@.twist.: I'm no dr., but I'd suggest not waiting until Thur. even though you're set to go anyway.

I don't think I'd wait until Thursday either 
I'd at least give them a call today- especially since you noticed it starting 2 days ago.

@Running Elley: @pregnantbee: Thanks ladies, I am on the phone with them now and they suggested going to the hospital. Honestly, her just saying that has completely freaked me out and I'm tearing up a little. omgomgomg.

@.twist.: Don't be scared, you're doing the right thing, you will be in the right hands and either a) it will all be nothing or b) they will know exactly what to do. Keep us posted.

@.twist.: OK, I'm so glad you're going in. Breathe. You will be ok. Your LO may just want to see you a little sooner than you thought. Keep us posted!

@Cherrybee: haha if I am just peeing myself, I am in for a world of embarrassment.

@Running Elley: @pregnantbee: haha OMG! ladies! Don't say that! I don't even have a bed for baby yet! LOL
I'm ok, talking to my husband calmed me down, but woah, it's kind of crazy. I'm going home right meow.

CALL YOUR DOCTOR. Get it checked out. Same thing happened to me at 30 weeks and it turned out to be my mucous plug and I gave birth 4 days later. Seriously...better safe than sorry!! I wish I went in a day earlier.

@.twist.: Better to know for sure! Hopefully it's just pee or other, non-amniotic fluids, but sending lots of positive thoughts your way!
pineapple / 12802 posts
Well, I went to the bathroom before leaving and a bunch of stuff came out, not a full mucus plug or anything but, stuff... I'm definitely not peeing myself.

Thinking of you & baby. Hoping the hospital can give you an answer & you can keep baby in for a few more weeks!! Also, you're pregnant ... The only time you can pee yourself and not be embarrassed!!
