Have you got a bit of a cough Hun? Post-viral cough? I know when I was pregnant and had a cough I would sometimes leak a bit of urine into my panties. My pelvic floor muscles are still not great either. Lol! Otherwise, I'm not sure what else it could be Hun. I admire you sooooo much though Hun....how did you find the strength to keep trying and how are you coping now that yuo are pregnant? I must keep praying for strength and courage.....I want it soooo much but I get so afraid when the positive ovulation tests start. Anyway, I hope and pray that this one sticks for yuo and that it is your rainbow baby girl. Xxoo
Discharge to the point that panties are wet??
I'm a neurotic mess is what I am. :worry:
At 4 weeks I had plenty of pg symptoms (sore boobs, bloating etc), then week 5 it stopped so I was convinced I was having a chemical, then week 6 I got a cold along with nausea, headaches and my breasts were so sore they felt like lead bricks....i was so so happy bc I FELT pg......
But then 7 weeks everything stopped again, no nausea, my breasts feel fine and then I saw my panties were wet (which i smelled them and it was not urine at all....no odor).
I remember my water breaking at 9w4d with my mc back n Feb so I spent last night googling discharge vs amniotic fluid...do colds cause miscarriage....all kinds of horrid stuff. Now i have some mild cramping which is terrifying me
I have TWO more whole weeks until my first appt. 32 weeks left and it feels like I've been pg forever.
My panties were pretty wet. Would scare me that I might be spotting as I felt moisture down there but it was always clear or watery. I wore pantiliners for a bit because it was so much. It got better after a week or so but now at 9w4d I still have "wet" days but not as bad.
Just remember that there is nothing you can do to prevent a mc so staying calm and getting rest and eating right should be your focus. I know it is a nerve racking time but worrying won't prevent it and will only makes things worse on you. You may be able to call and get an earlier appointment if you tell them you have concerns. My doc will do US as early as 7-8 weeks.
I've also had discharge to point I've even feared it was my waters at times. Remember amniotic fluid has a distinctive odour and it would also continue leaking, not be a one off thing. I've had to wear panty liners most of this pregnancy, definitely not urine just clear discharge.
This is a very normal part of early pregnancy for many of us. It's the relaxin hormone, makes us leak urine sometimes, and/or the increased discharge. I felt this got worse and worse with subsequent pregnancy.
At that point of gestation there would be very little amniotic fluid and a loss would not manifest with a gush of fluid.
Urine doesn't always have a smell when it first comes out.
There is a huge difference between 7 and 9 weeks. Please don't overthink this.
I had off and on symptoms with some of my pregnancies too. :heart:
Thanks Atomic,
Which pg did you have the off/on symptoms with? Was it several days off/on?
Keep going to the loo convinced i'm going to see something but so far nothing at all. So strange.
Its been 7 years since i had a successful pg so my recollection is quite hazy....its the miscarriages that burns in my memory....wish I could forget those.
I had on/off symptoms with all my pregnancies too Hun. Even this time with twins. Sometimes I would feel horrendous and sick and other times I was fine!
