fluid leaking or something else ?

Question

Me and my husband took the kids out to play at a play place in the mall where we live, I'm pregnant with baby #3 and am 36w and 6 days. Just waking around watching the kids I noticed my hands started to swell pretty bad , but it does that off and on sometimes. And I'd been having what felt like pretty frequent Braxtons . Then I felt like I really needed to go to the restroom I went and my underwear was soaked though. It had no smell no color. We come home and I change and put on a pad it's damp within just a few minutes of wearing but I'm not having any consistent pain off and on but not really a pattern. I'm going to call my doctor but just wanted other opinions as well on what it could be.

Answer

They'd want to check it out. If it's your amniotic fluid and you're not having contractions, they may want to induce you.

The policy in my hospital is that if you go in with a suspected fluid leak, you have to go get checked. If it is and you are in active labor, they admit you. If it is and you're not in active labor, they schedule you for induction first thing the following morning and send you back home to see if labor starts on its own before then. Unless you were GBS +, then you are admitted immediately.

Answer

Amniotic fluid. Go to the hospital.
