28 weeks, discharge or amniotic fluid?

I’m a little over 28 weeks and a chronic worrier which is why I want some opinions before I go in- (back ground) last week I had some vaginal itching so I used vagisil twice to help relieve the itch and feel better. In two days I have my HD 4D ultrasound to see babies face.

Last night before bed I noticed that I had increased in discharge a bit. My underwear wasn’t soaked but it was about as wet as normal. However, the discharge was clear instead of my usual kind of pale yellow, and it had a smell— kind of like the smell after you have sex? (That’s the best I can describe it). I don’t know why but for some reason I started thinking maybe it’s amniotic fluid? I know it’s early which is why I’m worried. No fever or anything. It’s not enough I think it would fill a pad.

So opinions- fluid? Is it the extra water I’m drinking? Is it from the cream last week and my body trying to heal itself? Help!

I would get checked by your doctor if I was you to rule out a slow leak, never hurts to check. I remember my amniotic fluid being clear and with a definite smell- I also compared it to the smell from sex, particularly a semen like smell.
