I seem to have sprung a leak.

Unless I've been pissing myself all day, I think I have a slow water leak.  And the on call dr said to wear a panty liner for an hour and see if it gets wet.  But isn't the purpose of a panty liner to lock in moisture?  I don't remember even on a heavy period day my liners ever feeling wet.

But I can feel the fluid leaking.  Which is unsettling.  So I'll probably be going to the ER here in a few to see whats going on.

    does it have a sweet smell? amniotic fluid is supposed to have a very distinct sweet smell

    ^^This. It's gross but can you take a little sniff of your underwear to see if it smells like pee or something else? I think I'd be heading to L&D too.

    Yes, that's actually how I described it when I called, it was the only wording that came to mind-- "a distinct, sweet smell".  lol  I hope I'm wrong... peeing myself for several hours is preferable, I think, to having a baby at 31 weeks. 

    Mk, off inets now and to the doctor.  I'm ridiculously tired, I hope I'm wrong so I can just turn a deep shade of red for an hour and go to sleep.

    good luck! ?The amount of fluid I started "leaking" a few weeks ago was unsettling, but it wasn't amniotic fluid. ?Hopefully all is well!

    I had the same problem last wk...but got it checked and it was not amniotic fluid...doc thinks it was just lots of watery discharge. I think I'd know or smell if I peed on myself all day long.

    i had that around 32 wks, too.  it was mostly in the morning when i'd get out of bed. my obgyn said it's normal...  just as long as it's not an extreme gush of liquid.

    Screw your Dr. ?Go to the hospital.

    If you are leaking, don't mess around with it. ?

    Get seen before it turns into a full rupture flood like mine did. ?
