3rd Trimester

anyone leaking urine...?

So, yesterday I had the biggest freak out of the past 9 months. All of a sudden, I got really wet and I thought that I was starting to leak fluid. This = bad, 1) because it is too early and 2) my birth center won't deliver anyone before 37 weeks, so, I was all kinds of worried. I called my midwife and she wanted to test the fluid with some litmus paper. Turns out it was not amniotic fluid, just urine. Yes ladies, I was peeing on myself...just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if this will be a constant thing until I deliver? I am so not a fan of this...

  • Unfort. it has happened to me. It is embarrassing but it's part of the package I guess. I try to do the Kegel exercies to help strengthen the muscles down there so I won't leak but they're not helping.  I feel like a 90 year old woman that has no control of her bladder.

  • Hey!

     New to third trimester board...mostly a lurker anyways...but yea this has been happening to me since 20 weeks! Doc says its fine, but I've read that it might last up until delivery...not too fun :)

  • It happens to me, but only when I cough, sneeze, etc.

    Hopefully I won't spontaneously leak urine...

    Anyway, I'm glad that everything is okay!  Better to have to wear pads than to be leaking fluid, right?

  • Are you doing your kegels?! I do them like it's my job and I've NO problems leaking urine or trying to "hold" it if I have to.
