19+4 & im soaking down there...

[Lottieloux]

TMI & I apologise. Just got back from maternity, I've been feeling 'wet' down there for a few days, today has been worst so I phoned maternity they wanted me to come to get checked, when I got there midwife checked my pad, said was not urine, and pad was clear so no discharge.. but it didn't smell sweet meaning water...

Soo.. I had the speculum done, they said if my waters were leaking i'd have a pocket off water near my cervix, but my cervix is long & closed.

They did swabs, no infections and everything looked normal.
They said would be down to increased watery discharge, wouldn't it be just 'damp' not soaking? especially a hour?

I don't even know what im asking myself, im just looking for some reassurance has anyone been in this situation? Im just going to try & rest but I cant help but worry and because im still so early!!

Honestly, yes. I was soaking, very wet indeed. It was when I had been walking a lot.

I had this too, during all 9 months of my first pg. I wore a panty liner all the time, and eventually learned to stop running to the loo to check it.

Could you get an ultrasound? I think there's a difference between normal discharge and actually starting to lose amniotic fluid. I would keep your eye on it and maybe get rechecked after a week or so. My daughter was born at 35 weeks because I had no amniotic fluid left. I had gone to the doctor the week before after feeling like I was leaking, and she told me it was probably water from the swimming pool. It made me so mad in retrospect because she didn't take my symptoms seriously. Just be careful and keep an eye on it!
