TMI- Discharge/smells
38 weeks -
I noticed my underwear is consistently soaking and I’m having to change them a few times a day. I called labour and delivery and asked about it and they didn’t seem to concerned.
I have been having a lot of pelvic pressure, some mild cramping and a lot of lightening crotch.
I looked up how to identify if I’m leaking amniotic fluid and it says normally you can tell by the smell?
It’s supposed to smell “musky”, idk what musky smells like lmao, but to me it smells like a white/red wine? My discharge has been clear and quite watery for some time so I’m not sure if where I’ve been dilated for some time, the discharge is increasing and that’s why I’m soaking through so many pairs of underwear?
Sorry for the long, very personal read but I’ve already called labour and delivery and got no help.
Also the drive to the closest hospital is over an hour, I have a toddler and it’s past midnight. I don’t want to wake him to drive 2 hours to be told it’s normal discharge, so any personal experiences are appreciated.
Also, I should add, due to the amount of discharge I’ve been having I was tested recently for a yeast infection and bacterial bagenosos and everything came back fine. Although then the discharge was more white/thick rather than clear/watery.
