Water breaking?

Question

I am 37 weeks 5 days. When I stood up from bed this morning a trickle of clear fluid ran down my leg. But then that was it! Nothing else has come out since. Experienced moms, could that be my water breaking or just normal end of pregnancy discharge? I was reading it could just be a trickle but I don’t know what to think 🤔

Answer

I had a small leak that stopped with my first and it was my waters. I wasn’t sure as so many people said that if it was my waters it would keep leaking but it didn’t. The only way to know for sure is to get it tested. My hospital had me come in to get it tested and then once it came back that it was my waters they sent me home again to do lots of walking, etc to try and get contractions started and if I wasn’t progressing after 24 hours I would have to come back to be induced due to the risk of infection once your waters break. I ended up having to be induced.

Answer

I had this and it was my water. Constractions started 18hours later

Answer

It could be your water leaking.. they don’t always pop like in the movies lol. I’d definitely give my doctor a call. Good luck mama♥️

Answer

This happened to me at 36 and I went in just to be safe so they could test me. Same exact thing and it wad just a ton of watery discharge but better safe than sorry!

Answer

If it’s leaking then it will continue to leak.  I wondered the same thing last week, so I took a shower then wore pantyliners and checked them regularly.  I had no other wetness that day (except when I knew I laughed hard or coughed because we all know what that does these days lol) If you aren’t sure, call your doc.  After 24 weeks the main concern is that an infection in the sac doesn’t occur. If there’s a leak, there’s a rupture somewhere and it’s possible for bacteria to enter.

Answer

When my water broke it was just a trickle but it was consistent. You can call your ob if you are concerned but they will probably tell you to call back if you start having contractions. Even after my water broke I was told to stay home until my labor became active and my contractions became too painful.
