Moms: Was this my water breaking?
I got up this morning when my alarm went off to go wake my husband up (he feel asleep on the couch, I never bothered to go wake him in the middle of the night to come to bed haha), and as I was walking back to bed, I had a warm gush of something trickle down my leg. I tried smelling it, but I couldn't smell anything. It was enough of whatever it was to make both hands completely wet.
So I sat on the toilet and wiped, it had no color and no odor, of course I then had to pee, but my pee was bright yellow. Sorry for TMI, just don't want to call doctor and go up there and make myself look like an idiot!
Thanks
Re: Moms: Was this my water breaking?
It very well could be a leak of amniotic fluid, but you probably not going to know for sure until you have it checked out. I think you need to give your Dr. a call and not worry about looking like an idiot : )
My water broke with my first child a few weeks early and I wasn't sure what it was either. I really thought I was peeing on myself. I'm glad I had it checked out because they really want you to have the baby within 24 hours because you are more susceptible to infection.
Good luck!
My water didn't break on it's own- my doctor broke it once I was in L&D but it gushed and gushed and GUSHED for what seemed like forever. Every time I would move I would have more gush. They kept having to put more towels under me. I tell ya, you loose all modesty when you're pregnant.
since I never was in labor at all I have no idea, but I would definitely go get it checked out. It could be excess discharge (we all know how nasty our bodies are when we're pregnant) or it could be your fluids.
Keep us updated! and good luck!
I called the doctors office, they had me come in. I was checked and the test showed negative to am-fluid, but he said that since it happened a few hours before the test, and it wasn't a large amount that it could still possibly be am-fluid. So if I have anymore "leakage" to not clean myself up, and to head back. If it's after hours to call and meet at the hospital. But that there is no need to worry, and eveything was fine.
So pretty much a "just wait and see" like the rest of pregnancies. Haha, I haven't had anymore leakage, I'm relieved too, lil man needs to stay in there a little longer. Although it would be nice not having the feeling of someone doing jumping jacks in my ribs! lol
Thanks everyone!
Maybe he will stay in and cook a little while longer!
I have a friend that peed her pants checking out at Walmart and thought it was her water breaking...she ran out of the store and left everything sitting in bags at the register. It's a pretty hysterical story now, but she said it was NOT funny at the time!
Glad everything is ok.
I have a fear of being in public when my water breaks
