Fluid Leakage In 15th Week. Posted: 09-03-07 22:19pm
I went to the ER about 4 days ago. I am
about 15 weeks pregnant and, after putting
on a pair of jeans, I looked in the mirror
and noticed a wet spot in the crotch. I
took them off only to find that my
underwear was also wet (about a 4x5 inch
section). At the ER, they done an
ultrasound and said that everything was
fine, and that it was probably just
discharge. I hadn't felt like I had
urinated...I hadn't felt anything at all.
But it seems like it was too much and too
liquidy to be discharge. Later, I found
out that they can use a test strip to see
if any amniotic fluid had passed, but they
didn't do this.
Any suggestions on what this could have
been? I've had two miscarriages in the
past and this is still worrying me. The
first miscarriage was only 8 weeks into
it, but the second was at 22 weeks. I
have had laser surgery on my cervix, which
made it weak enough to give way at 22
weeks after having sex. I was wondering
if this much fluid leakage is normal?

Something similiar happened to my
daughter, she sneezed and fluid came out
and she thought it was something other
than urine because there was no smell, she
was told it was more than likely urine
because if it was water, it would of still
been leaking and she would of more than
likely had labor pain, we figure the baby
is on her bladder and caused her to pee
her pants.

I am 17 weeks pregnant and have been
dealing with fluid leakage also. It is
like water, not like discharge. I called
the dr. and she said it was most likey
urine. I also had laser surgery on my
cervix and worry about imcompetent cervix
but I guess bladder leakage is very common
during pregnancy. It's weird because it
doesn't feel like I am peeing. I am
actually pretty bummed about it because it
makes me feel like an old lady. I do kegal
excercises all the time too and they don't
seem to be working. You should start doing
them too. Supposedly they help. If you
don't know what they are, google it.

Yes. If you were leaking amniotic fluid,
you would probably continue to do so.
You can leak urine without even realizing
it! Urine doesn't always look the same
and especially if it's later on in the
day, it won't be as yellow or smell as
much. It's really annoying Some women prefer
to wear a pantyliner to stay dry and keep
themselves from embarrassing situations.
