I'm 26 weeks tomorrow. I was just outside painting with DS. I've just stood up and (TMI), it's like I've wet my pants. Literally, I'm not kidding. Here's the stupid thing, I thought I might have sat in wet wipes, but this seems extreme and the chair is not wet. And I thought I had brought the pile in the house. Basically I don't remember if I did.
DH will be home in about 20 minutes. I need to go change, but WWYD? Change, sit and see if it happens again than call OB? I feel okay, a little crampy but nothing insane.
UPDATE: Well, that was embarrassing. It was either wee or a surge of discharge, but definitely not fluid. The Dr was great about it and laughed saying 'Welcome to your second pregnancy!' On a positive note, baby appears to be doing great. Thanks for all the well wishes. She said given my history coming in was the right call. Sigh, No one said pregnancy was easy.
I wouldn't panic. Call your OB, but you could literally have peed your pants (oh, the indignities of pregnancy!), or had a lot of discharge at once. If it doesn't keep flowing (gushing or trickling), it's probably not your water.
ETA I would insist on going to L&D or your OB's office because they'll check the fluid for you and even if it's nothing, the peace of mind will be worth the trip.

If it was wet wipes it is unlikely that your undies would be wet, are they? I would call if they are, it is a quick paper test to see if it is your water breaking or not.

I agree, I wouldn't panic quite yet. Change your pants, throw a pad on, and see if you continue to leak. If you do, definitely call your OB.
What does it smell like? Is it sweet smelling or does it smell like pee?
My nose sucks, I can't tell.
I've changed, I'm feeding DS and DH will be home in about five minutes. If more wetness occurs, I will call OB otherwise I'll ring in the morning. I have an appt Monday already scheduled.
Pregnancy sucks. Thanks for all the suggestions. Hopefully in 15/30 minutes I will have a better idea how to proceed.

I'd call for this. It's probably nothing, but in the slight chance that it is something the embarrassment of finding out you accidently peed is better than any alternative.
Did you feel anything coming out? My crotch was a swampy mess during pregnancy. But when they broke my water, it totally felt different.
No, but I didn't with my son either. I had a partial water break and his head acted as a stop gap. Looking back I think I know when it broke, but it wasn't a lot. I just felt leaky, but thought it was discharge. I never got contractions on my own.
