Waters or discharge?

I have noticed lots of wetness in my nickers last few days (lovely). I don't think it is urine as I can feel the luquid coming out every now and then so when I first sit up in the morning or stand up. How do I know the difference between 'disharge' and amniotic fluid?

This is dc2 with dc1 I felt my waters pop then gush pretty much immediatley afterwards.

Usually by the smell. Amniotic fluid smells quite sweet and is very distinctive IMO. Put a pad on and let your MW see. How far along are you? You should probably talk to MW

Sounds a bit like waters to me - I'd get it checked out. The majority of water leaks are actually trickles rather than gushes. Have you tried lying down for some time, then standing up and tightening your pelvic muscles? If it still comes out then it's likely to be waters.

Best to check out with a professional! Good luck'
