Very normal. It will get worse the more pregnant you get. Do your kegels, the exercise where you pretend to stop the flow of urine. This will help strengthen the muscles that cause you to leak urine. Also wear pantyliners. Then you won't feel so wet. Congratulations on your pregnancy, by the way!

Unfortunately yes it is. There's a lot of pressure on your pelvic regions and that part of it sucks! Wear a panty liner and do what you can to stay dry. It only gets worse the bigger you get, when you cough or sneeze later in pregnancy expect a gush :( Good luck and don't feel embarrassed, it's normal.

Because of hormones your vaginal discharge increases. With the baby pressing on the bladder it's normal to leak some urine..although I didn't think that happened till a little later in pregnancy..but everyone is different too. You may want to bring it up to your doctor just incase you're leaking amniotic fluid but it's probably the discharge which is totally normal.

it's very normal. Go get a book called " what to expect when you are expecting" by Heidi Murkoff. It's the pregnancy bible and will help with all these questions. I refer to it almost daily right now and I am due Feb 2, 2007. Your question as well as many others that you would not expect is in there. It's excellent in describing all of these little things that worry moms and help distinguish when something is "normal" or not.
Good Luck!

Get a book. I recommend "What to Expect When You're Expecting." The discharge is a normal part of pregnancy. It has a special name too. I don't remember any urine though. Good luck!

Grab a pack a pads and welcome pregnancy! The wetness is discharge and it's gross! The urine, well, that baby doesn't care where is steps or punches. It happens a lot, small amounts will leak out, without you even feeling. It is completely normal! Good Luck

yep you have nothing to worry about I can't remeber exactly what it is called but it's perfectly normal to have alot more discharge and incontinence can happen in pregnancy. I just suggest wearing a pad or a panty liner

Congratulations. There are all sorts of uncomfortable things about pregnancy. There are also some unhealthy symptoms. It is always best to share with your Doc any of your concerns. Some very wise and comprehensive advice from your friends here. What a great bunch of women.

Yes it is normal, although the pee in your underwear could be that you have a weak bladder from your previous pregnancy, maybe doing kegals will help you out there if it is a weak bladder I don't know if you can do anything about it though except give it a try and strengthen your vaginal muscles.

Very normal, sweetie. It's because of all the muscles and ligaments stretching.
Do pelvic floor execises lots of times every day, and wear panty-liners to stop you feeling uncomfortable.
