Tmi warning maybe -

Sitting having lunch and suddenly feel my knickers are all wet. Run to the bathroom thinking omg I just peed myself and didn't realise. Pad, knickers and leggings soaked. I'm thinking I'm pretty sure I'd realise if i was peeing myself so had a bit of a sniff (don't judge!!) to determine if it was wee and it doesn't smell like it at all. So it is my waters? I got new clothes and pad and can feel little dribbles and it feels like a pressure down there. Bump is really hard too. I'm too scared/embarassed to call hospital incase they just tell me I'm pissing myself! What do i do now just wait it out, see if there's more?

I would ring the hospital just incase they may want you to come in and be monitored...don't be embaressed. This is what mine felt like and I was told to go in and get monitored



Keep us updated

Eeeks I duno! TMI here but we had sex yday afternoon and after I stood up to go to loo, coughed and felt wee running down my leg I was aware it was wee but as I could feel it happening.

Does it smell sweet? Iv heard waters smell sweet. My waters were broke during induction so I have no clue what they look/smell/feel like.

Id say maybe ring MWs. They may ask you to come up with a pad to test. Better to get it checked. Im sure loads of ppl think its their water and get told its wee or discharge- more tmi - at 17 weeks with Caitlin, again after sex, I stood up and water trickled out of me onto a small pool on floor. I didnt ring MWs as it stopped and I was pretty sure it was normal discharge/girly fluid from sex. If id been 36 weeks id prob have been more bothered, and you werent having sex just before either. Im sure the MWs are used to this.

Sorry im not much use! If I was you id ring MWs to check! x

I would ring. I had a couple of times when I had so much discharge I soaked through a pad and my clothes and thought my waters could have gone. I just phoned and they brought me in to check. Even if it was wee then they're used to it

Thanks for replies. I guess I should phone day assesment unit. I'm confused now though cause I've had to pee about 5times in last half hour but still getting water inbetween that. Maybe baby is right on my bladder. Water in pad still doesn't seem like pee though. arrrggghhh. Got backache now too.

Ooo, I just seen this..It really could be the start Shell. That is EXACTLY how I started. Thought i'd pee'd myself, trickling etc and the back ache started soon after - within an hour or 2 I was having full blown contractions. Ring woman, ring!!

eeeeeee, how exciting! Sounds like the start Shell,

Good luck and let us know hoe you go, (as in how you get on, not how you pee, sorry, read that back and didnt sound right! LOL)

Eeek Shell sounds promising hun! Give them a ring for defo! and keep us updated as far as you can! Soooo excited for you!

xx

You ladies are getting ahead of yourselves.. or I'm in denial. I don't think this is it as much as I'd love it to be.
Water seems to have stopped now and bubs is going crazy kicking me.

Ooooh i hope its the start. I would defo ring though, just in case it is your waters and baby isnt protected now x

LMAO Shell! You got us all excited then! Just keep an eye on it but defo ring up if it carries on.

xx

Still let them know just in case. My firend's waters broke but when they rang they didnt believe her. A week later when she went in to be induced they realised the waters had all gone and so her an dbubs had to stay in for an extra couple of days to both have antibiotics in case of infections.

MAndy xx

OOOH Shell, only just seen this, deffo go and checked chic, its best to be safe and all that

xx

yeh just ring them chick. Peace of mind if anything. Good luck if it is the start. Let us know how you get on xx

Im the worlds worst for being on the safe side, but I would deffo give them a ring and see what they say, when my waters went I started contracting minutes later, but it was obvious with me as Alyssa had poo'd in me so they were all green xx

Sounds exactly like your waters to me, mine gushed then kept trickling. If it was wee you'd smell it. Let us know what MW says! Good luck xx

Well call me stupid but I didn't call mw or day assesment unit. I hate making a fuss and water seems to have stopped for now. I had some painful BH and thought something might be happening and considered phoning but then it stopped. Think baby is just teasing me. I'm sure he'll be 2wks late

waters have a weird kind of sweetish smell (and from what i recall the actual liquid was surprisingly warm ). i would really ring the assesment unit or your midwife as if your waters are even leaking enough to notice they will want to keep an eye on baby cos of risk of infection bit of scaremongering for you there, get on the phone woman!

Omg shell I've.just seen this""

are you okay now? tmi but i had the sane thing the other day. i got out of bed and had some thing drip. it soaked my shorts. i smelt it and it didn't smell of wee it was a odd smell. i thought that maybe my waters were.leaking but I've not had it since. hope ur okay chick x

OMG only just seen this, are you mad woman??

Virtually the same as when mine went, only without hte sudden wetness at the beginning - just a slow but constant trickle. Well at first I thought it was man juice having, well, you know, that morning. Then I thought "blimery there's not usually THAT much!"

Then I did exactly what you're not supposed to do if your waters have gone which was to have a bubble bath. Then I phoned triage who said go in so they could see if it was waters or not. Even then it took the midwives an age to decide whether or not it was waters cos it was so slow. Well eventually they decided it was which means they only let you go another 48hrs without inducing because of risk of infection, and they swab for group B strep as well cos if you have that they induce you sooner.

Having said all that, I was late not early. But I know with my sister her waters broke early and they pretty much kept her in till bubbs was born.

PHONE THEM!!!

Then tell us what they say.

Then do what they say!!

Good luck sweetie

I agree wit Emvar ring someone muppet lol.

If only to put our minds at ease x

How is it all going now? Did you ring someone in the end?

I am someone who does not like to make a fuss also, but I dont think they will see it as making a fuss, they will see it as looking after yours and your baby's safety.

Hope you have/had the courage to make the call and get it all checked out.

I didn't phone anyone. I know i know I should have but just was in a bit of denial and couldn't face phoning and going in just to have them send me home. The water stopped so they put my mind at ease. Baby was going crazy kicking and moving about, and is now so low, so I think maybe as gross as it is that the baby was putting pressure on bladder with all the moving.

I knew you wouldnt have phoned!

I think the head will be hanging out before you accept you in labour!

omg shell ring someone you muppet, im too impatient to wait ooohh how exciting!!!! seriousley though id get checked too cause im sure they wont leave you much longer if it was your waters due to risk of infection?? xx
