Is there a 'slow leak' club yet?

I know a few have posted about slow leaking for as long as weeks...I can't remember if those mama's had babies or not...But even if they have, I'm sure more of us will be joining this club soon.
So, if there IS a club already, please direct me to it as of 2 pm yesterday!
If there's not, HERE IT IS!

I have NEVER had a slow leak before, and I do have a good few weeks til I'm due,so it could close up, but for now,I'm dampin it up!

OK... how do you know it's a slow leak? Cause I think that's what's going on with me... my grandma calls it "weaping"

How about an "always peeing your panties" club? My amniotic sac is good, but my bladder is poor poor poor. And squished.

Jaysmylilpunkin-For me it's noticing a wet spot when I go to pee after a strong bh or one of many odd discomforts,including a big movement by baby.It's wet, smells salty, and not like pee.
When it's pee-there's a lot more,and I know I peed.Plus my pee is way stinky right now,sorry TMI!

So I'm leaking a bit more now, and I am constantly surrounded by this "ocean" smell.I assume it's the fluid-salty,alive,sorta fishy, but not exactly....

Anyone else have a leak odor?

I've noticed a few small squirts here and there for about the last week, but I'm too scared to overanalyze at this point. Maybe I'll try to smell the next one

i lost my mucous plug on friday evening and started leaking this morning. sis thinks i have a high tear b/c the more i move around, the more comes out. but no scent to it. just a sudden little gush, all watery. trying to stay active now to get this train rolling.

I don't think I have a leak, but I do know that half the time, no matter how religiously I wipe, 2 min after I pee, I get this little flood of mucus or something. It's whitish/clear, no smell, just kinda gross and annoying.

Nerdy, I was just thinking of you!I Was thinking how in a perfect world you would have a doula checking in on you every few hours, making sure you eat and drink well,pampering you a bit,and telling you what a great job you're doing!-You are in labor,even if it's not active yet, and you should be respected as a laboring mama.
I just saw my first bit of white mucus today-first ever in 4 kids!This is an interesting beginning to eventual labor....

If the rest of the world honed in on our conversations, they would be totally freaked out. But we are so intuned to what is going on with eachother, we speak so candidly, like the girls from Sex in the City. But its more like Babies in the Forum. I love it!

Thanks, nerdy.Of course, now, today, my undies are clean as a whistle!No fluid, no mucus....HUH?It's so confusing!(kinda nice to be dry for a spell, though.)

Barbie,I would SO invest too much time in a series like Babies in the Forum!! (whether I was pregnant or not....)

just an fyi for the leaky moms...
maybe everyone else remembered this, b/c i didn't know and dh forgot, but if you've torn your bag of waters you aren't supposed to have sex.
whoops.
and if you do, start monitoring your temp to make sure you don't develop a fever. mw called me at work to tell me to please let her know if my temp goes over 100. even better, let her know if it's in the 99 range and i feel feverish.

I know, bummer.This whole pg I've had serious contractions after sex, and now I finally have the energy and I can't!I'm tempted to anyway and monitor my temp, but I'd never forgive myself if anything bad happened...
How do you know if the leak has re-sealed?(eyebrows up and down smiley/think the Marx brothers...)

i guess it's time to revert back to the teenage years and do "other stuff"...
