amniotic fluid or discharge?

Question

I've had discharge for years but even more during pregnancy. But the past couple days my underwear has been getting soaked and doesn't have much of a smell and there's no color or anything.. Also with discharge I can never feel it coming out but the past 2 days I'll randomly feel myself leaking. Could it be amniotic fluid leaking? I'm 34 weeks

Answer

To test it, lie down for 20-30 min. And then get up. If it's fluid quiet a lot should get out. If there isn't a significant increase in it, it's just discharge. Discharge can be quiet a lot. If you are still in doubt, go and get it checked, cause if there is a hole, it means bacteria can get in, and they will have to take baby out within a few days! However, of you are not getting any real contractions, and it's still early, it's probably just discharge. But better safe than sorry. 
I had this happen to me at 38 weeks. And they wanted to induce me! Until I insisted not enough fluid was leaking, and it was likely just discharge. Not before after 4 days did they send me for a scan to check the level: and it wasn't fluid. They would have induced me!!!!! So if you go and get it checked, ask for scans to check the level to be sure! 
If hole in the sack = very bad. But it isn't ideal either to deliver a baby as early as you are if it's just discharge.
