I’m 29 weeks pregnant, and over the last few days my vaginal discharge has DRASTICALLY increased. It leaves my panties wet all the way through, and when I wear my pajama shorts without panties I almost constantly have a wet patch in my crotch area showing through on the outside. This began after I had some pretty intense Braxton Hicks contractions the other day. But I haven’t had any contractions since. Is this just my body preparing for labor? Or should this be a cause for concern? The only thing I’m worried about are the stories that I’ve heard about women who’s water has broken and they just kept slowly leaking fluid.

Any advice is appreciated.
