I had an update today on what my weird spasm-y like contractions were My OB said it was baby kicking my sciatic nerve, basically my spine, and that causes kind of a pulled muscle like feeling across your abdomen. Its similar to a charlie horse but in your stomach. Anyway... in case that happens to anyone else! It was weird and painful but not labor related
@MrsVoorhees wasn't it you that said you had your water break when you were peeing??
i just got up to use the rest room and when I sat down, before I even pushed to pee, a small gush just start flowing out. I tried to stop it but it kept going and then it stopped and I starting/ or was still peeing. My first thought when I sat down was it was for sure my water but I am just so confused. Called midwife and she said to rest and if I have more wetness in the morning then to come in.
Not sure if I just had to pee so bad that it just came flowing out when I sat down. I had my water break with my first but it was a trickle that lasted a few hours.
If this happened to anyone, did you have more fluid come out later?
@seitzy3 the exact same thing happened to me during my last pregnancy. I literally had no control over the fluid coming out of me (it turned out to just be pee) and I thought for sure it was my water. It was pretty clear and odorless too. I went in to be checked that night even though I had no more gushes. I think a pretty good indicator will be if you have any more leakage. Lay down for 20 minutes and stand back up to check for any more leaking. If there is none I would say it probably was not amniotic fluid.
@JLmama118 seems like it was just pee haha. Why does our body play mean tricks on us? I literally had no control over my bladder then. It was the weirdest feeling. Glad I'm not alone!
@seitzy3 sorry I missed this, stupid mobile never tells me someone tagged me. Yes, mine broke while peeing last time! I called L&D and they told me to put on a pad, and if I soak it in an hour, to come in. I did but I didn't feel like it was soaked because it was such a slow trickle. But paired with contractions (which I still didn't believe were contractions because they started 2 min apart and that doesn't happen...right!?) (turns out, it does) I was convinced I had to go get checked to continue living a normal life.
@MrsVoorhees that's okay I posted it late last night. I could have swore it was my water because of the amount , also clear and odorless but I am assuming my lack of contractions and no other leakage means false alarm! I never got contractions after my water broke with Deklyn and they ended up inducing me 10 hours later.
I'm sure this is nothing to worry about but I have had constant Braxton Hicks since my appointment today. They are only a few minutes apart and I just started getting nauseous (and have had to act on it) about an hour or two ago. I had these constantly with DS, but the intensity of them and timing is starting to make me a little worried. I'm 35+4. Hopefully going to bed will get rid of them once and for all.
@Shiva14 So weird, I'm in the same boat since my afternoon appointment. Went swimming, which dialed the back pain down a notch but now it's back in full force. Now I'm getting bands of pressure around my lower abdomen every 3-4 minutes. DH has me lying on the couch and drinking water... hopefully that slows them down... 34 weeks tomorrow for me. Sending you pain-free vibes girl.
Thanks ladies! They slowed down but are still frequent this AM. I'm not feeling sick on top of them anymore so I'll take that as a good sign. These last few weeks are so pesky and sure keep you on your toes!
@yellowrose314 how are you feeling this morning? Hope your pain has subsided!!
@Themaritimemama Better this morning. Still have some lower back pain, but the pressure in my lower abdomen is gone. Drinking water like a champ since I woke up. I burst into tears last night in bed because I was so sick of sleeping on my side. So DH got up, found like every pillow in the house and made me a wedge/prop up so I could sort of sleep on my back, and it was glorious. Woke up in the same position this morning and actually slept in. I love that man.
37 w apt was last thurs...85% and 2cm. Ekkk...i best pack my bag before work monday. Anytime can be go time now. Exciting. Work is such a struggle right now.
@mhilpisch10 nope! Went on for a while at about 3mins (eek!) apart. My husband is all like "is this normal? Doesn't this mean you're in labour?!" You'd never know we have 3 kids thanks for checking in!
Wife to A; Mama to C (2009), N (2011), H (2014) & baby F due 09/16/16
I'm sitting in my labor room just waiting for things to progress. Been here since midnight (because 37w is magical, apparently and they couldn't have brought me in yesterday). Two things are driving me crazy; GBS was positive and that penicillin burns! Every 4 hours I get another dose. And cervadil placed 0130 this morning and unless I start labor it just stays there for 12h. But I have to be on the monitor. So while I can get up to go to the bathroom and I can stand up / sit on the side of the bed; I'm chained here.
@jensou Aww I'm sorry your stuck in bed lady - that's rough, especially when you're not sure when you'll be able to leave it again. Good luck with laboring and can't wait to see birth announcement from you! You got this!
@jensou keep us posted. I'm 37 weeks at midnight tonight and I'm being induced tomorrow morning at 6:00am starting with the cervidal. I wish you a smooth delivery and can't wait to hear how it all goes.
Good luck @jensou! I remember the burn of those antibiotics. It sucks! I hope things speed up and baby is here soon!

@seitzy3 sometimes. You can lose chunks of mp or the whole thing at any time. Bloody show is an indication of labor. With my son I lost chunks of mp gradually, but had the bloody show with the whole thing the day I went into labor

Ahh! Wishing you the best
Since im on my 3rd dose of the antibiotic now, the nurse diluted the heck out of it and is letting it run more slowly. It's markedly better.
