How do you know if your water is leaking slowly?

Question

So for the past few days I notice my underwear will get pretty wet. I can’t tell if it’s sweat or water leaking. It’s not discharge I can tell the difference with that (sorry tmi). Has anyone had their water leak super slow? How can you tell? I’m currently wearing a pad but I don’t think it’s that much to fill one.

Answer

Yeah so I went to labor ward to test for fluid leak because 3 streams of liquid ran down my leg while I was getting ready. Not pee, no scent, etc. However, I also sweat down there like nobodies business and have to change my undies several times a day. Its ridiculous. Turns out it wasn't fluid and they sent me home, but better safe than sorry to get it checked, imo. I'm guessing it was sweat or discharge? 
But for reals the sweat is unreal. Lol.

This just happened to me Wednesday. I did what everyone said ( lay down for 30 mins etc)...I was still leaking. When I went to the doctors the next day he said I was good...he said the baby was on my bladder, so for the 1st time I peed on myself haha

I had a slow leak for a day before going into labor. It literally looked like someone poured a cup of water on the crotch part of my panties. It was completely saturated. It happened to me twice that day and I honestly though I peed myself lol. The next morning my water fully broke!

Answer

I had a slow leak for about 2 days. I was 39w 5d when it started so I wasn’t concerned. Also had an OB app the next day so I just mentioned it then. Anyways, I noticed it more when wearing lighter underwear, it was like dribbling pee every so often. Sometimes it might just be pee lol happened the week before, but second time it was my water. Your OB can do a swab to test it for you or even the hospital.

Answer

Lay down for about an hour, when you stand if it seems like a gush it’s your water. A slow leak will pool and then come out when you stand. That being said anytime you’re worried you can call your OB or midwife, they can test to be sure it isn’t amniotic fluid.
