I'm almost 26 weeks pregnant and I was up cleaning house this morning and all of a sudden I felt wet, like I had peeded in my pants. It was even drizzling down my leg
I went to the bathroom and I had a wet spot about the size of peach and my pants legs were a little wet, I wiped really good and got it dry and since then it hasent done it anymore.
Could my fluid have been leaking then quit that fast?
I know I didn't pee on myself because it was clear and when it was coming out it didn't feel like it was coming out of the uretha.
Any ideas??

Best idea is get to the hospital. This NEEDS to be checked out. If it is leaking you will need to be monitored closely for the rest of the pregnancy, if it broke delivery is imminent.

There is a very simple procedure they do at the hospital... they take a culture of your vaginal secretions and look under the microscope. If it shows "ferning" your water is leaking or broken.

What are you waiting for?

It may or it may not do it again. It still may be urine. But you need to find out for sure. If it was NOT urine then baby could be in a big heap of trouble.

We can't tell you whether this was your bag of waters or urine. Only a doctor can by looking under a microscope for the "ferning" pattern of amniotic fluid.

So, get off the computer and go get this checked out.

OK thanks J9 I'm going to call the doctor now I don't think it was urine because it felt like it was coming from the vagina opening.
Thanks again your always great...

Also could this have happened since I have placentia previa?
