Did I wet myself or did my water break?

Hey, if I blog about it then I can't be embarrassed right? So yes. This morning I wake up (one of the many times) to use the restroom and notice that my undies are a little wet. Hmmm.... It's not on the bed or anything, just in my undies and not so much on my pants. So I think, ok... did I wet myself? Because I read that some people can lose a bit of control towards the end and definitely after. But I also read that your discharge increases the closer you get to d-day AND when some people's water breaks, it just leaks a bit. not so much like the gushing they portray on TV (although that can still happen too). Well I think, maybe it's the discharge and since I ran out of my preferred liners (dri-weave by always!) and am using my generic (not so dry) liners I figured that's all it is. So I changed it and went back to bed.


Well this afternoon I notice it again. Hmmm... Now I've read that people who leak fluid say it's clear, and has either no smell or is a little sweet. OK, laugh all you want but I needed to see what was going on. So yes, I took a sniff... nothing. In fact my undies still smelled like laundry detergent. haha! ok, TMI. but isn't this all TMI anyway? Why stop there right? ANYWAY, there's no color (which they say if you pass your mucous plug there can be a bloody show). So I'm thinking I either wet myself and it just doesn't smell or I'm leaking fluid. but I'm not feeling any contractions or pain or anything. Well I decide (with the help of Muna) to call my doctor's office just to be on the safe side. Better safe than sorry right?


Well she wanted me to go over there now! But it was 3:45p and I couldn't get there before 4pm! So she advised me to come first thing tomorrow morning at 8:30a but that if I noticed any pain, contractions or symptoms getting worse overnight to call the doctor. Wow! I guess I wasn't prepared for a reaction like that. I hope when I go in tomorrow that it wasn't for nothing! i'll be a bit embarassed although I know I shouldn't. I'm sure I'm not the first and better safe than sorry. But since she was a little concerned with my fluid level last time, I figured I should bring this up and call. So... until tomorrow, we shall see. Will she schedule me already?? Will I get to make my pediatrician appointment tomorrow afternoon? Or will she examine me and just tell me that all is fine and I just wet myself, have a nice day? hahaha! I hope it's not that! Well I will definitely be getting my preferred liners after work! i'm telling you the generic ones do NOT cut it when it comes to pregnancy! Maybe when you aren't pregnant and just in between periods, it's fine. But during pregnancy don't go cheap! invest in the dri-weave! haha!
