Has this happened to anyone? About 3 days ago I had a gush of water come out when i was laying down, then the next day when i was standing up ( just enough that time to wet my underware pretty bad). I had my doctor's app. yesturday and he examined me and said that I definitely did NOT rupture my membranes. But it happened again today and I dont know if I should call or not?? I have a yeast infection too, has anyone had this watery discharge with a yeast infection??

How exactly did your doctor determine that your membranes did not rupture? By examining you I don't know how he would be able to tell unless your cervix was dilated. There is a litmus paper test that can tell, however. If he didn't do that, I would get yourself to the hospital and ask for one.
If the paper test confirmed that it's not amniotic fluid, it sounds like you might be leaking urine. Do you know how to do kegels? Ask your doctor or your childbirth educator or doula for some information about them. They strengthen your pelvic floor so that you won't leak pee, and also help your muscles stretch to let the baby out more gently on your body (preventing or minimizing a tear).

If your Dr told you that you didn't rupture your membranes...then you're probably fine. You might actually BE peeing your pants a little... being that far along your uterus is puttting pressure on your bladder which can cause urine to leak when you stand, laugh, cough, sneeze...etc.
Also...your discharge gets heavier when you are pregnant...so it could also be some excess moisture coming out.
It won't hurt to call simply because you don't know what it is...but I wouldn't worry too much.

I agree. Call! Go to the doctor ASAP. It is good if you go while you are leaking because then they can test the fluid with a simple test and find out if it is amniotic fluid or not--don't change underwear or bring along with you the wet underwear. If you went to your doctor when you weren't leaking (you said you went yesterday, but the last leak was 3 day ago), it would have been hard for him to test whether it was amniotic fluid or not because sometimes leaking can start and top. It is possible to be slowly leaking amniotic fluid. A similar thing happened to me in my pregnancy and my boyfriend was sure it wasn't amniotic fluid, but it was. Yes, if you are leaking it can increase chances of infection and it's important to find out. You might be able to tell if it was urine by sniffing it and seeing if it has a distinct urine smell. When in doubt in pregnancy, better to call the doctor!

You sound like me. I had the same thing happen. If you have water continually come out then call the doc. But if you just have it happen every once in a while. You could be having a discharge or you could be accidentally peeing. We never did find out what I was leaking. Hang in there.

Well i personally would call the doctor because who really knows what it could be.
Yeast infections, atleast in my limited experience, are not watery at all and more of the opposite.
Could it possibly be that you just have a full bladder and it is a little pee? I am not trying to be funny or stupid or anything, but i have often times read of women who say they pee themselves a little in later stages of pregnancy but it is more uknowing and unexpected.

it could be coming from your bladder, sometimes as most pregnant women know when your far along if you sneeze, cough or laugh to much you leak a little. if your baby is deciding to use your bladder as a trampoline then that would cause you to leak, i would see if your doctor can send you for a scan though just to rule out the fact that your waters may have gone. your waters replenish themselves so you could be trickling.

You should go to labor and delivery at the hospital you are preregistered at or the er. At our childbirthing classes they said to come there if you think you might be leaking water. They can test it to see if you are or if it is just urine. I wouldn't take any chances. Good luck!

Go to the hospital and demand to be checked out. You shouldn't have water coming out of u. Some discharge is normal but gushing fluid is not. Don't come to answers for help go see your ob!!!
