How do I know? My turn for tmi--UPDATE post #21

post #1 of 46
Thread Starter 
Last night, dh and I dtd. About 4, after having fed E and put him back to bed, then peeing (of course!), I was laying there trying to get back to sleep. I felt a little trickle down my thigh. So I got up and peed again and changed my underwear.
When I woke up, I was damp again. I peed, and there was pink on the tp. Yup, I'm in the checking-obsessively camp. I put on a pantyliner and I think it's damp too.
So, my question is, is this just leftovers from dtd (I usually have some, but not always this much, especially after we, um, keep going after dh "finishes") ) or is this water, or am I not getting all the pee out. I figured I'd call my mw soon, but wanted to ask you all for your opinion.

Hmm certainly sounds like it could be a leak if you think it was pretty liquidy as opposed to sticky? I'm not entirely sure since I've never seen amniotic fluid . I had a lot of mucous this morning after the second day of using 2 EPOs internally. I could tell it was mucous and not the oil.

Sounds like something could be happening but time will tell!!

With DS1, my water was leaking. It was pinkish on my liner.
Amniotic fluid doesn't smell like pee. Does it smell like pee?

It doesn't seem to be sticky, but it is definitely pink. I can't tell now, it seems to have stopped now that I'm up and moving around for the day. I'll lay down in a while and see if it starts up again. I haven't tried to smell it yet. I should do that next. Although, I've been drinking like a fish so my urine isn't very concentrated.

Sounds like your water. CM can be pink after dtd but its the consistency that seems like water that would concern me. And urine should def not be pink.

Just talked to my mw. She said it's really hard to tell after sex, since semen and amniotic fluid smell the same. So, I'm to treat it like a slow leak and we'll re-evaluate this afternoon or tomorrow.
I don't have a clock for my water breaking, as long as I don't develop any signs of infection. Phew!
I've had a couple of good ctx's, but they don't have any pattern or regularity to them. I am getting cautiously excited though. I'd really love to meet this babe!

Ohhh! Good luck! Hope it's your water! :

I like your mw.
As I said, with ds1 I was leaking much as you describe. I was told to go into the hospital and "augmented" the next day for "failure to progress". I'm glad to know that your mw is more intelligent than that.

I like you mw too - it's great that you don't have to feel like the clock is ticking down!

Anyway, my mom was here today and we were talking labor signs. Her water didn't break with me until she was in active labor (she thinks they broke it for her at some point). With my sister, she described exactly what you did - a slow trickle that didn't feel like you were peeing. She just noticed it being wet, would go to the bathroom or change and then notice it again a short while later. She waited until the next day to go in to the hospital (she had an appointment scheduled anyway and didn't want to be on the clock).

So... sounds like it might be good news! Keep us updated when you can mama

I think I may be getting somewhere after all!
Ctx have picked up and pink tinge has turned to lots of red goop, so mw is on her way here. Maybe I'll meet my LO soon!
