Leaking?

Question

About an hour ago while sitting down I felt something warm and wet come out of me down there. I am 38 weeks. I'm not cramping or anything. Since then it has happened a couple of times. I put a pad on and changed to see...im not soaking anything so don't know if it may be a high leak or not. Should I wait longer and see if I start contracting? Everything was clear like water and no smell. Baby has moved since then.

Answer

I’d call your doctor and see what they recommend. You could also try the ‘pooling’ test - lay down for 30 min - 1 hr and then sit up. If it’s a leak, the fluid will ‘pool’ inside of you and then come out when you sit up

Answer

This happened with my first baby for two days straight and no contractions and it ended up being my amniotic fluid!

Answer

I’m 34 weeks and I have been getting those small leaks since 32 weeks. It’s probably nothing if baby has been moving like usual and there’s not cramp or anything to indicate active labor. I hate it though because I’m so ready for it to just be my water breaking...

Answer

With my first I'd just kind of feel wet down there of a night and had zero leaking during the day but it was my waters and baby's head was plugging it up of a daytime. Definitely go get checked.

Answer

Anymore leaking?

Answer

Could be fluid leaking, or it could just be a lot of discharge. It could also be pee. I would call your doctor just in case, but it’s more likely that it’s discharge or pee. At the end, it’s really common to have bladder leaks for lots of different reasons. It’s also common to have excess discharge.

Answer

Definitely call your doc. 
The baby’s head can be plugging the hole and as you or it moves a little fluid comes out. If it is your water leaking your doc should know when it started. Infection can be introduced once the sack has a hole so they may want to monitor you or help the baby come sooner rather than later. 
Also you could go to L&D to get checked. They have a simple swab test that tells if it’s your waters or urine.
