Help! I think I'm not holding in urine, but what if i'm pregnant and this is water breaking?

Question

I recently had kidney stones so I am assuming I am unable to hold in urine for some reason. I have been ok for about a week now, and I even woke up fine. But after I got out of the shower I noticed I am leaking trickles of what I assume is urine. It's a chance that I could be a couple of months pregnant since I don't always use protection and haven't had a period in over a year due to having a baby and nursing her for the past ten months. I know that if I was miscarrying I would have blood and lots of pain, right? Is there pain and blood with every miscarriage, or can your water break? The trickle feels the same as it did when my water broke with both of my kids. Since a pregnancy test I took about a month ago was negetive (unless the cheapie was reading wrong) I am assuming it is urine and has something to do with the damage caused by passing stones. So what do you think? Yes, I am going to call the OB and I have an appointment to see my eurologist tomorrow morning.

Answer 1

Go see the urologist. It's from the kidney stones. They may need to catheterize you temporarily. And you may have and infection, too.

Answer 2

lol. If the bladder wasnt thick enough to prevent toxic leakage, the fluid would leak into your abdominal cavity, not your uterus. And that would not be leakage, it would be a ruptured bladder. Which is quite a precarious situation, since the required surgery and recovery time would certainly put a reasonable amount of strain on your pregnancy. And there would surely be poor side effects from the anesthsia, medication, antibiotics, and the possbility of a surgical error resulting in damage to the uterus. But a leaking bladder isnt something you have to worry about, your bladder is not designed to leak, its meant to hold the urine until it can be expelled naturally, unless there is an abstruction or some other damage to the tubes or the uretha, this sort of thing wouldnt happen. And its likelihood certainly wouldnt hinge on pregnancy. hehe. Its a cute concern. But being careful and responsible enough to relieve yourself when you feel the need is an excellent solution to your concern. You're going to reach a point where the position of the baby and the weight of the uterus causes you to be unable to hold you urine even while doing basic things like standing up, or coughing. WHen that time comes you WILL find time to leave your desk and pee. Bathrooms are to pregnant woman like water is to fish. Cant have one without the other. Your employer will understand. You understand the risk of getting a UTI from holding your urine, which can have poor side effects on the baby. But pregnant woman tend to have supressed immune systems, which means a UTI can often become a very serious kidney infection, which will land you in the hospital, and risks severe damage to the baby because of fever and medication. So, hold at your discretion.

Answer 3

Your problem sounds like it has to do with your kidneys. Also your trickles may have something to do with you already having had a child and you haven't been working on strengthening your pelvic area. As for the miscarriage you would know for sure if you were. I've had 3 and even the first time it happened I knew I had to get to the hospital. Good luck with your appointments. I hope it's nothing too serious.

Answer 4

If you were pregnant to the point of where your water would break, you'd know. I don't know if having kidney stones affect your bladder but I'm sure you're fine and the problem will solve itself. If you are really, truly concerned, see a doctor.
