Weeing myself or my waters? Help 😩

Question

I'm 17 weeks. Would i know if i was weeing myself? I've spoken to the midwife because I'm worried it's my waters! She said go and have a test tomorrow for a wee infection first to rule that out and then we will go from there. I have never had any previous issues with pelvic floor muscles... But this is my first pregnancy. It doesn't smell like wee.. I had to change my knickers quite a few times and it started yesterday when I suddenly felt a leak (a bit like blood) but thankfully it wasn't blood but it went through to my trousers. Can anyone give me any advice on what to do?? It has no consistency of discharge , it is literally like water, no colour . Please help :-( worried

Answer

Pee doesn't always have an odor if you're really well hydrated. Your waters do have an odor and actually smell a bit strange.

And someone said your water breaking would be a gush of water but that's not actually true. If can trickle but I highly doubt this is your water.

Answer

I thought my water broke early with my daughter (fat chance she was two weeks late lol) but according to the hospital that checked me you can pee yourself without realizing it and if your hydrated it has no smell, it's from all the baby pressure on your bladder it just causes it to misbehave sometimes.

Answer

My discharge has started to come out very watery, so much that i have soaked all the way through my underwear to my pants a couple of times. My doc said this is normal and there's a clinical name for it (leucorrea sp?) I started wearing panty liners if I am going to be out of the house for a long period of time.

Answer

Your vaginal discharge also changes over the course of pregnancy. When I was further into my pregnant with my son, I used to have a lot of wetness and I would have to change my underwear or I would feel very uncomfortable. I started wearing thin panty liners that I would change every time I used the bathroom to stay feeling clean and dry. It helped a lot.

Answer

I have watery discharge sometimes (no color or smell), could that be what it is?

Answer

I'm pretty sure your waters breaking would be a gush not a tinkle. It could be very diluted urine.
