hi im 22 wks today and i keep feeling very wet in my knickers and like im dribbling a bit. am i just weeing myself with maybe baby number 3 sat on my bladder or could my waters be very slowly leaking. its playing on my mind as my coccyx is hurting and have been in agony with pain in my hips ( which i had the week leading up to the birth of my 2 children). i feel like the baby is so low down that if i had an internal they would be able to feel bulgng waters like they can in labour. i have had a few tightenings but nothing regular and they arent painfull. are these just normal symptoms with 3rd baby? i do have SPD so could it all just be that. I dont no if im just being dramatic and dubious about ringing the hospital as i know they will make me go in and i am terrifed. anyone else had similar experiences.

Pregnancy
I had this for a week before the baby arrived. It was just a massive increase in discharge, not waters leaking or wee. It would soak several maternity towels a day 
"v unlikely you're weeing" - oops I stand corrected after natty's post!
Hi graciem, hope everything is ok.
I had something similar with DS2 at 6 months. The hospital did an internal, tested the level of fluid and said everything was fine, I was just leaking urine. I had DS2 4 weeks later and there was no amniotic fluid left!
I should have gone back 2 weeks after the internal as I knew something was wrong - every time I moved I "leaked", so much so that I ended up wearing Tena Lady's and going through 3 or 4 a day. A good indicator of leaking fluid is that amniotic fluid doesn't smell of wee (TMI I know ).
Definitely phone the midwife OP.
Throughout all of my second pregnancy I kept leaking wee due to wrecked pelvic floor from first birth.
All this leaking got worse (combined with loads more discharge towards the end - nice!) and it meant that actually I missed my actual waters leaking. I finally clicked when I noticed that the 'leaking wee' was meconium. I was induced as soon as I went into hospital to have it checked. Waters had been leaking for days.
I am sure yours is wee but best check!
So glad I've seen this post, I've been having the exact same thing! Feeling very damp " down there ". Also having lots of pressure, so again, was unsure if maybe I was just wetting myself slightly
Have midwife tomorrow so will ask her to check it out, thank god I'm not alone!!
