What's going on??

Question

So, I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow, and as of today, I've been slowly leaking. I've had to change panties about every 7 hours because it gets uncomfortable because they're wet
Update* I'm not leaking amniotic fluid. They swabbed me, and think I have a yeast infection. It's been sent to the labs and I'll find out by Wednesday if I have one. Otherwise she says it's just discharge.

Answer

I’m currently 30 weeks and have so much extra cervical mucus that I end up changing my pantries a couple times a day so I don’t feel wet. I have partial placenta previa so it’s pretty normal to have an excess amount of discharge at this stage. But if you have any reason to think it is your waters, go get checked immediately! My waters leaked with my first for a WEEK before I went I to labor (I had no idea I was leaking- membrane sweep poked a hole) and iwas practically septic and couldn’t have an epidural because my white blood cell count.

Answer

Could be discharge but could also be a slowly leaking amniotic sack. Wouldnt hurt to check with your ob to be safe.

Answer

I don’t mean to be gross but have you smelled it? I leak urine periodically when I wait too long to pee. I change my mini pad several times a day.

Answer

I would put on a maternity pad and wear it until it’s collected the fluid you’re worried about, then call the Labour ward and ask them if you can come in and be assessed as you’re  worried you’re leaking fluid. They will ask you to give them the pad and will see if it’s fluid or pee or just regular stuff.
Don’t be embarrassed- they do it all the time so they’re desensitised to the bodily functions of us pregnant folk!

Answer

Could it be your waters? They don’t always break like in the movies. Sometimes you could just slowly leak
