Urine, discharge, or amniotic fluid? How do I tell the difference? I have been damp all morning and it is still coming a tiny bit. How do I know which it is? It isn't gushing and doesn't really smell like urine so I am a bit of a loss.

I am ten weeks pregnant and have been feeling a bit low the past week. Pain when I go to the toilet, though not much, and my wee is just dark (though not extremely dark) and smells a bit. It turns out I have a trace of ketones in my urine at the moment ( Read more... )

 Is having difficulty urinating normal?

I mean, I'm peeing CONSTANTLY but usually when I get the urge by the time I make it to the toilet and sit it takes me a good minute or two to get a flow going.

It feels like I'm being blocked and I have to really concentrate and push to get going.

The first (and horrible) OB I saw gave me no advice for this and ( Read more... )

So I'm hungry as a bear (and cranky as hell, my blood sugar MUST be low) after not having eating since 5:45 last night (it is now 7:52 AM). I'm going in for my glucose test this morning, as recommended by my midwife because my dad is diabetic. She's pretty sure I'm fine since I'm not tired, vision hasn't gone to pieces, etc., but ( Read more... )

Last night I had the urge to go to the the bathroom so I did, and then I came and sat down and a few minutes later I felt something trickle out of me.  You know what feeling I'm talking about, I'm sure.  So i was like, whoa, and went to the bathroom thinking I had wet myself.  I had JUST peed before this happened and I "went" and everything in the ( Read more... )

Ok so I dunno if this is a stupid question or me imagining things or what. I was reading something on pre-term labor so maybe that's why I'm imagining things. So I just went to the bathroom to poop (TMI sorry lol) and I guess I also had to pee. As I was going I was peeing, but it felt like I was squirting it out (it wasn't consistent) and it ( Read more... )
