Leaking? Fluid or discharge?

Hi mamas. I’m hoping I can get some insight here, because my mom brain means I don’t remember this from my previous two pregnancies. Kind of tmi.

I’m 33+3 with baby number three, and for the last few days I feel damp all the time? I normally wear a panty liner during the day, just because I tend to have more discharge when pregnant anyway. I have noticed the last week or so though that I’m having to change my liner more frequently because it’s getting full faster.

Now at night I don’t wear a liner, just regular cotton undies. And now they always seem to be getting a wet spot. Anytime I move or change my position it feels like I get another small wet spot, about the size of a half dollar?

I can’t decide if this is just an increase of regular discharge, or if maybe my water is leaking? Is there really any way to tell before actually getting tested? It doesn’t have any odor, no pee smell or anything, and no color. No bleeding either. Like I said, I don’t remember this happening with my other two kids, but they’re almost 6 and 3 now, so it’s been a few years.

I intend on bringing this up at my next midwife appointment on the 11th, but I’m debating if I should call and try to get checked sooner than that?
