Is it really possible to pee yourself and not know it?

Since this has yet to happen to me, I find it hard to believe when people post about leaking fluid and others suggest maybe you peed yourself that I would not know whether it was discharge (or perhaps fluid) or pee. Do you lose all feeling of the different muscles down there near the end? Oh god now I am all stressed about peeing myself and being the last to know....

It isn't so much that you lose feeling. ?It is more like you feel pressure like you need to pee all.the.time, so it makes you wonder if you did in fact leak a little urine.

Personally, so far, no. I know what hole things are coming out of so to speak. For instance - the shit usually comes out of my mouth...

Unless you are drunk, I think it should be easy to tell the difference. You feel pee coming out... and I would think our water just comes out voluntarily. I don't know, I would just think you'd be able to tell a difference feeling-wise.

(Insert foreshadowing montage to me standing in my bedroom wondering if I just pissed on myself).

You will know when it is too late. Esp when there is sudden pressure somewhere below that makes your urethra spasm.

Unfortunately, yes, I can personally attest to this.  Late in my last PG I thought I was leaking amniotic fluid and was informed by my OB that I had, indeed, just been pissing myself in small amounts.  Ah the joys.

I agree with Chancie.  It's not like I'm wetting my pants like a 2 year old, it's not a flood.  But every now and then like when I'm getting up from the sofa, laughing too hard, picking something up that's too heavy, whatever, I think some just comes out. 

BTW, if I went to the bathroom every time I felt like I had to pee in the last 3 weeks, I'd never leave.

Sometimes the baby will hit my bladder in just the right spot and I pee a little. I don't realize it's happened until I get up and feel that it's wet. Awesome.

I can understand accidentally peeing yourself and knowing that's what happened, it's the not knowing that I hope I never have to ask for assistance on

I am so glad that someone else has an evil bladder attacking baby like mine! The other day at work I seriously had no idea that she made pee leak out by doing that, so yes it is possible to pee yourself and not really know.
