Loss of fluid...? (TMI)

Alyssa102 · November 2012

Last night DH and I had sex. About an hour later I was sitting on the couch and I felt wet, like I had just wet myself, but it was not pee. It was not alot of fluid, but enough that I had to change.

I go to the washroom and go pee and wipe and it is a little creamy, like just discharge. No contractions all is normal, so I'm not too worried.

Today I feel sooooo dehydrated. I have probably dranken 60 oz of water and I just can't get enough. When I go pee, my pee is still yellow (which I thought meant dehydration).

My co-worker thinks that I may have lost Amniotic Fluid. Should I be worried or call the ob? I feel fine, just thirsty.

I would definitely call your OB because if it IS amniotic fluid, that's not something you want to ignore. Better safe than sorry. The test they run to check it is super easy and they can see the results right away.

So, call your OB, but I'm wondering if it might possibly have been semen? Sometimes it takes awhile to come out. "Creamy" does not sound like any kind of amniotic fluid I've ever heard of. I think you're probably fine. But do call so you can be reassured by a professional!

When your water breaks its just like water, could it have just been semen that came out? If you're not still leaking it probably isn't amniotic fluid but a call to the dr to make sure cant hurt if you're worried about it.

I don't know about the thirsty thing...

This, exactly.

Thanks girls. I thought because it was creamy, it was probably just seman. And like I said no contracttions or anything.

I agree that it was probably just semen. I know sometimes hours later, I'll still have some leaking out.

As for being thirsty, it's a day to day thing for me. I'll drink a ton water ALL day, and my urine will still be yellow. And some days I'll drink less water and my urine is clear. You might be dehydrated just because

For the last 2 weeks or so I've been drinking 60 oz of water before lunch, and I have to drink when I get up in the middle of the night to go pee or I get a headache. I checked with my midwives and they basically just said at the end baby will need a lot more fluid so drink up! But as far as the leaking goes I would call you ob/mw and just check, it probably is non amniotic body fluids though like PP said.

This happens to me as well! Probably just semen, but if you are concerned, give them a call.

My thoughts.

60 ounces of water would not be enough for me in one day so I would definitely be dehydrated on that amount.
