I just wanted to add that my amniotic fluid stories are most definitely in the small minority. I think @hkom ‘s doctors described a more normal situation of water leaking and my own doctor told me the same when I called. It’s just the reason behind me personally being paranoid about fluid vs discharge and I’m trying to remind myself that the increased discharge is completely normal.
I wanted to add to the amniotic fluid discussion. After my water was broken at the hospital, it wouldn't stop leaking. Like constant dripping. If you had a leak or something, it would be all. the. time. I had to wear a pad to catch it all.
@ab_canada I have had DH massage a muscle in my upper butt cheek that the chiropractor has massaged before, that definitely has helped some! I meant to have him do it this weekend and forgot...
Also...F pregnancy dreams man. TW death (in dream only, didn't actually happen)
Woke up at about 4:30 this morning after having dreamt my dad died 2 days before Christmas. Not even necessarily this Christmas, I couldn't tell if I was pregnant or had one or both kids yet, but DH and I were together. It also took place in my grandma's house, which was sold I think 3 years ago now. So all in all fairly unrealistic, but I woke up, checked my phone for any texts because I was paranoid my brain was trying to tell me something, and then started crying. It started slow, just a couple tears, but it quickly turned into full-on sobbing. Apparently I wasn't crying as quietly as I thought because I woke DH up. He rolled over and held me and comforted me no questions asked but man what a shitty way to start my day...I ended up texting my dad "I love you" and explained that I had a bad dream and needed to tell him I love you, didn't go into detail about the dream though. So yea...ready for a good nights rest without any bad dreams...
@binxybaby I have never seen the test strips for home use. I have only heard of them being used in medical facilities.
@Jens_Hoes OMG! Yes! My water was broken on Saturday morning at about 9 and I was still leaking ambiotic fluid Sunday morning at 5 when I got the epidural (After that, idk because I was in the bed). Personally, I thought that the constant leaking and gross factor of that was worse than the actual contraction pain. It was just so annoying!
@CecilB93 I have had some really dark death related dreams, too. They really freak me out!
This reminds me that I had a dream last night that I was sitting in a giant, shallow pool of melted butter — like its own spa resort deal. It was fantastic.

I've been having bad sciatic pain as well @CecilB93. When ever I do to much my body punishes me and I need help moving/ getting up/ walking. Its terrible..... Other fun symptoms are waking up with hip and leg pain. I feel like I'm to a point in pregnancy that im not gonna sleep well until baby is out. Honestly I slept better, and was more rested with a few hours here and there with a new born, then I was the last 10 weeks of pregnancy. +1 on baby using my bladder as a trampoline, especially when I have to pee. Its like he gets upset that my bladder is taking up his space lol.
I was in bed, hoping for a nice long snooze but... restless legs! Had to get up so i don't keep h awake. Aome nights they're fine, some nights they're totally jumpy.
My new symptoms is pain! I pulled a bunch of muscles in my abdomen. I am guessing round ligaments but it’s bad, real bad. My DH was arguing with me about chicken prices at the grocery store (I don’t think I have ever talked, let alone argued about the price of any food) and DD decided to try to get in the cart from the side. I couldn’t see her behind miy DH but as soon as the cart started to tip I lunged forward to grab the cart and some how managed to catch DD as well. My husband claims he would have caught her but nope can’t take a chances of her getting hurt. Instead I am in pain and can’t get comfortable.
@LLynde5 I'm with you with new pain! Tonight I had a...fun abdominal pain. Best I can describe is that it was like a bad headache on/in the uterus. It only lasted for a few seconds, and only happened once earlier this evening. It was probably BH?

Ugh. I felt off all day yesterday. Had maybe an hour of menstrual-like cramps, and then the rest of the day more BH/tightness, back pain, and swollen feet. *TMI* there was the tiniest bit of pink on the toilet paper when I wiped this morning */TMI* and now I'm a crazy person, over analyzing everything. Baby is still moving around just fine, but damn, kid. Take it easy on me for at least one more week - I'm leaving on a work trip on Sunday and I don't want to spend the whole time I'm oot worried something bad is going to happen
@runrinserepeat That sucks, I'm sorry! Did you call your OB at all re: the tiny bit of pink? I'm sure it's fine, just sometimes actually talking to my OB makes me feel better when something off happens. Any more cramping today? Hope you're feeling better!
@LLynde5 Oh my gosh how scary! Glad you caught your daughter but I'm so sorry you're in pain. I hope you feel better asap!
Thanks, ladies. I'm sure I'm completely overreacting and need to just relax. Kind of looking forward to my trip, so I can spend all my free time next week with my feet up in bed
@runrinserepeat I'm sorry about the little bit of pink! Anything like that can be scary and it's hard not to overanalyze things when you're preganant! I totally get that!
@runrinserepeat perhaps tmi, but have you done the deed recently? My OB warned me (history of very sensitive cervix!) that as I enter the 3rd tri, spotting may pick back up after sex as the cervix starts to soften again in prep for labor. I might follow up with your OB for peace of mind though. They may want to do a cervical check, which may cause more spotting, though. Hopefully it's nothing but your body doing weird pregnancy things.
@runrinserepeat I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling off and are now worried about the pink but if it helps any, I spotted (like visible red every other day) the entire 1st trimester and baby’s completely fine and normal. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, just a little scrape or something. But you should def talk to your doctor. They’ll probably even do an u/s so you can rest at ease
@runrinserepeat I think you should call your doctor, just in case. One of my co-workers had similar symptoms and they took her for monitoring for a couple of days for early labor.. she ended up carrying to full term but it was still worth checking out...
@runrinserepeat I've been having some bright red (very light) spotting occasionally and my doctor said not to worry about it. I did have a cervical polyp in early pregnancy so they think it's probably that. If it would ease your mind, maybe give your doctor a call just to see what she/he says.
@runrinserepeat and go figure a few days after you post, I start spotting! Despite what I told you, I was freaking out, of course. SO reminded me it was probably just irritation from sex. 2 hours later, it stopped. So hard to stay calm and rational when it's happening! Anyway, I hope yours stopped as well and that you and baby are a-ok!
