So im 37+2 and i have been leaking here and there. Almost like ive wet myself but does not smell of wee.

It just comes on suddendly then i go upstairs to change, i didnt think nothing of it. I have just put a pad now and going to see what it smells of?

Its a watery type texture too(sorry if thats tmi)

If it doesn't smell of wee it could either be increased vaginal moisture as a result of late pregnancy or amniotic fluid.

Unless you can completely rule out the latter, it's probably a good idea to give the delivery suite or your midwife a ring.

Its not discharge as its watery type.

I am going to give them a ring now!

I had the same but with it being my first i thought it was some weird discharge caused by pregnancy Hmm

Turns out it was my waters leaking (from 35 weeks) as when they popped them to progress my labour at 37+5 there was very little there!

Good luck op!!

It could be amniotic fluid (sp) as I've had the tiniest amount come out every day from about 14 weeks onwards. Nothing large, just enough to make my underwear moist.

But it's always good to get it checked out just in case.

My waters didn't go with a gush in either of my labours. I just started leaking like you describe. With every contraction, there'd be a small leak. I didn't have much fluid anyway and didn't have much to go when I hit full labour either.

Good luck. For me, leaking meant labour was about to start.

My friend had a little gap between some leaking and labour. THey like to monitor you in that case, due to the risk of infection, so you did the right thing to call them .

aprilsunshine have you told your midwife about leaking at 14 weeks? Don't want to alarm you but I leaked from 25 weeks its called pprom and can be quite serious. Sorry if you've already seen someone.
xmaseve if it is your waters hospital won't let you go longer than 24 hours due to infection risk so you might have your bundle v soon!
Good luck
