Help(tmi alert)! How do you know if it's waters or discharge?

[MrsCog]

Hi everyone does anyone know how I can tell if I just had discharge or if my waters have started to go? I was walking up the stairs and felt 'stuff' come out, went to the loo and there was a bit more show (this started coming out yesterday) but also a wet patch about the size of a piece of a tissue, just wet rather than slimy but obviously discharge can sometimes be like that... Gosh this is so tmi, sorry but can anyone help?

I can't really answer. All I know is that I had an episode where fluid was gushing, really gushing down my leg when I got out of bed one morning. Went in to be checked and was told it wasn't waters, it was discharge. I hate to think what the hell type of discharge I had that was like niagra falls but anyway. They were adamant that's what it was .

So, going by that it sounds like "discharge" although you've probably sorted it by now if it was anything else.
