Dampness During Pregnancy: Is It Normal at 13 Weeks?


Question
I am currently 13 weeks pregnant with my second child (my eldest is 10 so I've forgotten nearly everything) and have noticed the last several days that when I go to the restroom, I have a damp spot on my underwear.  I have had no spotting and suspect that this is a little urine but am wondering if it is too early to be this.  Is this common or should I be concerned?

Note, we have had 3 ultrasounds already with this baby (it was a ART conception) and heard the baby's heartbeat by doppler at 10 weeks so I really think everything is okay, I just a little concerned.

Thank you!
Michelle

Answer
Hello Michelle and Congrats!  
It could be a number of things.  What you need to decide is, does it have a color?  Is there any odor?
If you answer no and no it is probably just vaginal wetness that is pretty common even this early in the pregnacy.
It could be urine.  The older we get and the more pregnacies we have the more likely we are to leak a little urine.
I suggest you get some panty liners to help you feel more compfortable and to help with any odor there might be.
If you have an odor, itching, increase in discharge, call your Dr. otherwise just bring it up at your next visit.
Good luck to you!
