irritable uterus?

This morning I woke up soaking wet. My DS climbed into our bed to wake DH and I up and he said to me mommy is wet. PP in bed? I did not think I did, but I was soaking wet. I called my obgyn when they opened at 9 and went in. They kept me there until 1 pm. Well, my water did not break nor did I pee on myself, but apparently I am making a massive amount of fluids and my uterus is contracting and irritable.

Has anyone been diagnosed with an irritable uterus before? The doctor did some other tests to see if I will be in labor soon and said they would call me tonight with the results.

never heard of this but


if your water didnt break then it's NOT coming from your uterus right?? im confused! did they say where its from!? is it sweat?

Re: irritable uterus?

Yes, at 23 weeks I was told I had an irritable uterus when I started having contractions. I was basically told to make sure I drink lots of water, that it would start if I didn't drink enough.
I had the FFN test done many times because of my contractions but it always came out negative.

Re: irritable uterus?

Thanks for the responses. The doctor's office called and said my FFTN test (to see if I would be in labor soon) came back fine. They said they are not sure why I am soaking wet, but that it is not urine nor is it amniotic fluid. That I should drink more water and keep my feet up.
