So, probably a dumb question but, this is my first pregnancy, I’m almost 40 wks. How do you tell if you’re leaking amniotic fluid?

Like, I’ve had some clear discharge but it’s not constant, that I know of, and I drink a lot of water too so my urine isn’t exactly yellow tinted.

I’m just worried that I can’t tell what’s what cause I know you’re supposed to go to the hospital if your water breaks or is leaking.

Anyone have any easy ways to tell?

My hospital is an hour away.

Also...constant back ache most of the day today, is that labor? I haven’t had any back issues all through my pregnancy.
