water-breaking?

smilormarie · August 2011

I am only 2 days late, no contraception, husband and I are not trying but not avoiding. Last night I woke up to what seemed like my "water-breaking" where underwear was soaked through with clear colorless odorless fluid, not discharge and I have not taken baths or gone swimming lately, only showers. Today I have mild cramps, mild brownish-pinkish discharge. At-home pregnancy test was negative today so I don't plan to see a doctor, but could that have been a very early miscarriage with the only symptom being amniotic fluid leakage?? I usually get a lot of vaginal discharge so I know the difference and this was not discharge or urine. I don't mind either way, but would just like to know as this has never happened before.

0.o is it even possible for you water to even break if you aren't pregnant? Im no expert, but I kinda thought that didn't even form until much later in the pregnancy. I could be entirely wrong, but if the pregnancy test said you aren't pregnant, and didn't detect the hormones at all, then I don't think its possible to miscarry. Just thoughts here.

no.

mkjones4 · August 2011

This is not meant to sound snarky at all, but it sounds like you wet the bed and are about to start your period.

Is this MUD?

I doubt the fluid is "water breaking".

When you're 10 weeks, the amniotic sac only contains about 1 ounce of fluid.

This.

JhawkCE · August 2011

Um, there is no water to break at this point. The amniotic sac doesn't begin to form until about 2 weeks after fertilization and even at 10 weeks there's only about 10ml of fluid.

Could you have just been really sweaty? Did you guys have sex last night and it's semen?

Wait 3 days and test again if you don't have your period.

Tambcat · August 2011

Maybe you had an orgasm in your sleep and "squirted."

This. Are you in Texas? Maybe it was sweat. It's hotter than a mofo down here...

there are so many things wrong with this post.

blindvictory · August 2011

First of all, you're only 2 days late. You probably ovulated slightly later than usual and it delayed your period. Why are people so in a hurry to say "Ooooh, it must be a miscarriage?" Why do people wish that upon themselves? If a pregnancy test says negative, just go with that and assume your period is late for other reasons. For freakin' crying out loud.

lifeisgood27 · August 2011

To the original poster: like other people mentioned, it's not possible for you to have your water breaking. It could be sweat, or perhaps you had an accident. If you feel you are pregnant, and you still don't get your period, call your doctor and make an appointment.

And maybe this is my hormones, and maybe yours, too, ladies. Your replies seem mean, and discouraging. To make fun of her for something she's nervous or scared about just seems so wrong. Isn't this supposed to be a place that people can come for support? If you don't have something constructive to say, why post? It just turns people away. I don't know if this person who posted above is a troll, a young wife, or just someone who's confused. I just don't believe it's right to be rude.

And pardon me for the hormone-filled-rant. If it were me reaching out, and you were mean as to post some of the words and the .gif about me and my concern, it would make me feel down and that's not what I want to hear when I'm asking for advice, concern or support. Put yourself in this person's shoes. Maybe she wants so badly to be pregnant that she's clinging to every single feeling, and "symptom." I know I did when I was in my 2WW.

No, it's a place for discussion.

Lissa832 · August 2011

No, that is not a sign of an early miscarriage. At thatstage of pregnancy, you don't have the "water breaking sensation". if you were having an early miscarriage, it would be very similar to a normal period.

I'm sorry then. I thought this was a place to share our joys and sorrows, get advice and find other people to help, or to explain things they've already been through. Or to find other people going through what you're going through so you don't feel alone. My bad.

At least once a day I LOL in my cubicle and my coworkers turn and look at me.

Nowhere in the Bump TOS does it state any of those things. This is a message board, not a support group.

This is not to say that I wouldn't support someone who is having a really hard time, but the OP was just completely ridiculous. Ask a stupid question...get an awesome Mean Girls gif.

mommybrynn · August 2011

I really don't mean to be a mean about this, but it is just a really ridiculous, silly question. It is hard to take a question like that seriously, you have to almost assume it's MUD and watch the "views" numbers soar.

MommyMals2012 · August 2011

Ok, your water broke, you are not pregnant...Girl I think you had a really "hot" dream or you use the bathroom on yourself! I mean, I know that this is my first pregnancy, but I am still trying to figure out how your water can break...and you are not pregnant. Strange!

The gif was funny. I'm just all over the place with these emotions. It was a silly question. But I just get defensive and emotion and empathize too too much. Sorry.

Not even close to possible. However, if you want to tell your husband that's what happened to save face for wetting the bed, I'm down with that.

ahhh hahahahaha! I'm sorry not to be mean to the OP, but this response made my day!

smilingeyes2308 · August 2011

Not to be mean but the thing that makes me giggle even more is that you seem legitimately serious and concerned.. I agree with Tambcat, I think you just had a hot dream hunnie.

BellaAmor215 · August 2011

Must be this YWIA!!!

HMEB87 · August 2011

Hey! lifeisgood27! You were right on the first time, girl! Some of these replies are downright mean! smilomarie: If you're really concerned, I'd just give the gyno a call.

1. You are trying to concieve, SEX+No Protection= BABY so by not preventing it you are trying.

2. U Wet the bed or were sweating like a hog.

If I drink a big glass of water before bed sometimes I sleep walk pee! I dont wet bed but I get up make a ton of noise running into things running into walls talking then usually try to pee somewhere dumb, like a trash can, sink, closets...pretty fun for the hubs to chase me, but if you embarressed tell your man what you want, not like he will know!!!

Most of her posts remind me of the time I got drunk and fell up a flight of stairs.

smilormarie · August 2011

Thanks, guys. Normal dreams, no sex dreams (no squirting), not urine, didn't have sex for at least 2 days before this happened, still don't know where all that water came from but finally started today.
