How do you know if your leaking fluid ? I have checked my undies several times and there have been little wet spots. Sorry TMI but Im worried. I may have a bladder infection they havent given me my results yet so I dont know if its just pee or something else. I dont know how I could pee myself and not know. :dunno Any advice ? I hate my doctor and I dont feel comfortable asking them shit. I had an ultrasound a few weeks ago and they said the fluid was fine.

I am not really sure. Extra wetness is normal towrds the end of your pregnancy. You might want to call the dr to see what they have to say.

Are you sure it's just not discharge? It's normal to have more than usual when you're preggo.

:yes

TMI, but I have an abundance of discharge during my pregnancies...even now and I'm only halfway thru.

Discharge is SO NORMAL...even to the point of "drippy". If the fluid is clear, or straw colored, I might start to worry a little, maybe put a call in to the doctor...if its white, or cloudy...its probably discharge

Its not discharge because it looks like a little wet spot like a wet myself. IDK if it is still going on I will ask my OB at my next appointment.

yeah...it will look like that. Discharge during pregnancy is very thin....watery even.

Ask at ur next appt...but I honestly dont think ur leaking.

Keep an eye on it and keep an eye on your kick counts. That happened me to (but I wasn't that early-I was at my due date) but I had no contractions or anything... thankfully I had an appointment the next morning, and I had been leaking fluid and they induced me. Not trying to scare you, but I would call and ask to be sure! Better to be safe than sorry... maybe call the nursing line instead of your doc?

I dont know if I am leaking or not but I have noticed that the baby hasnt moved very much the past two days. I dont know whats normal and whats not because I read in my book that babies go through phases of moving alot some days and not moving much other days. I also read about kick counts but I am not sure exactly what I should be counting... How many and how long ??? Sorry to sound so stupid but I appreciate all of the help from everyone. :D

My doc told me if you feel her moving at all, count that as a kick. I don't remember how many he said there should be before you should be worried, sorry.

i had the same thing happen to me when I was pregnant with Maddy. I went to the dr and they checked me, said it was nothing but the regular "normal wetness" that comes along in the late part of pregnancy. It continued until I had her.

Kick count is 10 movements in 2 hours.. but that means any movement..I think it's at about 28-30 weeks when they want you start doing kick counts. Also the baby has a sleep pattern by now, and when you rest so does she.. you can always drink some OJ to see if that perks her up. :hugs
