Yup, you read that right.
Around 11 this morning I woke up with a wet spot on my sheets about the size of my hand. I didn't freak out and just went down the checklist of what I am supposed to report and figure out if it was amniotic fluid. TACO.
T- time it happened
A- amount of fluid
C- color of fluid
O- odor of fluid
I wrote down the time and that the spot was about the size of my hand. It was only on the sheet since we have one of those waterproof mattress protectors on the bed. I couldn't tell what color it was (Stupid colored sheets!) and it didn't smell like anything. I calmly told myself it wasn't first morning urine and I have been drinking a lot of water so my urine has been pretty clear.
I was fine till I called the Hubby. Cue little freak out and tears. Told him about the wet spot and how I didn't know what it was. He said he would leave work and I called Dr. Monty. I told them about the fluid and how I wasn't leaking, contracting or in any pain and there was no other discharge. He was in a delivery and the receptionist would try to get a hold of him. She called back and said she couldn't, she would keep trying and he would be in the office at 1. If he was worried he would have me come in to get swabbed so they can test if I had any amniotic fluid in my vagina.
While I waited I did what I was supposed to. Rested on my left side, drank a bunch of water and felt for any contracting. I felt nothing. Hubby came home and we waited for the call.
A little after 1 we got a call back. He said he wasn't worried and it was most likely urine. I did the right thing to call and he wants me to call just like I did with any changes. He knows I keep on top of things.
We had seen him on Tuesday and the U/s showed that both Squirt and Roo had flipped head down. Since then I have been having a lot of pressure on my bladder and more of an urgency to go. Everyone thinks that they probably were dancing around in there a lot while I was sleeping and made me pee.
Thank you children! That was so nice of you! This wasn't the first time I have peed my pants and it probably won't be the last.
Just like it was said after the bleeding scare at 13 weeks, you two are grounded! You are not to come out of your womb till April!!!
So glad everything was okay! Just wait till they are here and actually pee and poop on you!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I am looking forward to that. I have a strange feeling that they might start early like during the delivery. I hope not, but I just have a feeling hehehe.
DeleteI can't believe I'm admitting this, but I actually did have to get swabbed at 28ish weeks after I stood up and peed myself. Charlotte was breech and I leaked urine for weeks. Awful
ReplyDeleteI have sneezed a couple of times and it's happened. The urge has been so strong since they both went head down. I feel like I am walking around doing constant kegels now. I know it won't be the last time since I have had bladder control issues before.
DeleteThat is so so scary!!!!! Glad it turned out okay! I would sleep with a pad so if it happens again 1) it won't get on your sheets, and 2) you can have a better idea of the color / odor. I spent most of my pregnancy sleeping with underwear and a pad anyway because of the discharge from various things. hahaha
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to just use one of those washable sheet savers under my butt. Some nights undies are just so uncomfortable. It might very well come to that though, we will see.
DeleteWow that would scare the crap out of me too! I'm so glad everything is ok with you and the twinkies
ReplyDeleteThanks Kat!
DeleteAHHHHH! I had no idea this could happen. Another lovely thing about pregnancy no one tells you about when you are spending gobs of money to get pregnant :) I'm so sorry for your scare but am really glad that it was nothing. Roo and Squirt, you guys stay put and for the love of Pete, please don't bounce on your mommies bladder!
ReplyDeleteYes they need to be told by everyone to stop bouncing on my bladder!
DeleteAnd this is why I had to wear panty-liners for 9 months! It's not just for discharge! :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Jules! Have you gotten any of my emails? I haven't been able to read your blog since you went private. I would love to keep reading!
DeleteSo sorry for the scare! But glad to hear you only peed yourself. *giggle*
ReplyDeleteWhen my water broke, I didn't have contractions for a few hours, so I can see how this was very frightening. STay in there a bit longer Roo and Squirt!
Hahaha! So funny that everyone is happy I peed the myself. I also got worried because my cousin's water broke and she just thought she wet her pants. Her amniotic fluid ended up being low and she needed to be induced.
DeleteHappy to hear it was just urine.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca!
