Dx: Idiot
January4
As I’d assumed would be the case, because everything requires that it be turned to Maximum Humiliation Factor, it turns out that after a visual and fluid check of my privates, I have merely peed myself. And then taken myself to the hospital in order to pay someone to tell me so.
I couldn’t be happier to be incontinent. There’s a phrase, along with My Bowel Prep, or visiting my father in the ICU I never thought I’d use. And yet, here I am. Happy to be pissing my pants.
One word…Depends
It looks as though my previous comment left others to think you were actually doing the L&D part of L&D. So ugh … congratulations on not being in labor and merely pissing yourself. Or something
THIS is the shit that no one tells you about pregnancy.
Ha ha! I totally did the same thing. I paged my midwives at like 2am and told them my water had broken. Of course, it did turn out, after a ferning test, pH test and an NST that I had, in fact, just peed my pants. Fortunately it seems to happen so often that they don’t seem think twice about it.
*whew*
Everybody pees their pants. It’s the cooooolest!
Nice. .. . . .
I couldn’t cough, sneeze, laugh or fart at the end without peeing my pants. If all women were told about this stuff ahead of time, no one would have babies.
It’s okay, I sometimes feel like peeing myself just to stay warm on a cold morning.
And kegels don’t help, so don’t bother.
So I did something akin to this (they told me it was my plug? But some people’s are watery? Or somesuch?) and 48 hours later I had a baby. that’s all I’m saying.
My advice: Get some litmus strips.
And it was wise of you to go into the hospital to be checked and you know it.
Thanks for making me laugh. And I am sure you won’t be the last one to do this…
did you at least get your free lollipop 😉
I once waited so long to see my OB (you know, naked from the waist down with a paper sheet over me) that I was sweating enough “down there” that they had to check to make sure my water hadn’t broken. You decide…more or less humiliating?
I was told that if it smelled like semen, it was prolly amniotic fluid. How’s that for “full circle”?
PS: I did that with all 3 kids. Luckily for me, it was 3 different birth attendants so no one person thought I was bat shit crazy.
oh honey. eat some good chocolate. a lot of it.
When I was pregnant with number 1 I did that at 38 weeks. I sat in my OB’s office for 2 hours just so they could tell me I peed myself.
Then, when I was pregnant with number 2, I coughed in Target and peed myself. I left my full cart, grabbed number 1, and ran out so I could go home and change.
My bladder still isn’t the same.
Oh Becky! LOL. Sorry. I am going to laugh at you for a bit.
I love this.
oh, holy hell.
so this is what i have to look foward to? i swear, i’m going to start wearing depends. this is horrible!!!
meanwhile, i’m happy to hear it was “just piss” considering the circumstances.
I just laughed, and I peed myself. A little bit. Just kidding. Or not.
Ha! No worries on your part. Hell, when I was laying on a triage table, in labor with my second, my water burst forth like a dam break, and the nurse helping me looked down at me and then over to my husband and said, “What’s that noise?” and I was all, “Um, hi! I’M SOAKING WET DOWN HERE!!”
So I say bill them!
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry…
that I am laughing so hard!
Glad almost all is well. As as a woman who has had 6 vaginal births, I so feel your pain:)
You poor dear!
The whole time I was pregnant with #2 I peed myself every time I puked (and I puked at least 3-4 times a day for 23 weeks). It happened once when I was watching my 10 year old niece…and as I walked out of the bathroom to change my clothes she says to me while trying to hold back her laughter “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone you peed your pants, it will be OUR secret”. *sigh*
All I’m saying is, honest mistake. And I agree with @Ms. Moon, I think everybody’s happy you got it checked out.
We all know that by the time the baby gets that big, there is really no such thing as a pee-free existence. The only question is, do you buy Depends and if not – how many times a day do you change, and are you or are you not ashamed to tell your husband why the hamper is so full of undies. Ahh, the joys of pregnancy.
Hehehe! I almost peed myself just reading that 😉
See, it was just the excitement of getting that carseat delivered. Glad all is well and I missed the peeing of the pants. 😉
We made it home faster then we made it to your house. Tell Daver big hugs and kisses from Marjorie and Me for the directions. I would still be driving around northern Illinois if it wasn’t for him.
Ha! I just peed myself in sympathy. Just think of it as doing all your peeing now, because you know once the baby arrives, you’ll only have time to pee once a day. Hang in there – you’re almost done!
Better than pooping on the table with a cadre of medical professionals standing in perfect visual range. Yep, did that. Also, when they broke my water with baby #2 it blew like an amniotic tsunami & soaked an intern from the neck down. The advantage, of course, is that children demolish your embarrassment factor.
I DID THIS!
