Damp underwear - 21 weeks

Hey, just looking for a little advice.

For the past few weeks, I've noticed more and more that my underwear is quite damp. It's clear, and mostly odorless (sometimes it smells a little like urine, but more often than not it's odorless).

Just wondering if it's just part of being pregnant at this stage, or if I should worry that I'm leaking at all? I'm not soaking pads or anything, but it is regular enough for me to be worrying. Everything online seems to mention amniotic fluid leak, though my scan on Friday showed normal levels.

Any advice/experience appreciated, as I'd hate to ring midwife or triage over nothing!

Watery discharge is a normal pregnancy symptom, mention it to your midwife but if it was your waters it has a very distinctive, fairly strong smell.

i have been having this. it is increased discharge and occasionally some wee. The advice i was given was that if it doesn't make a pad significantly wet then not to worry.
another lovely pregnancy symptom you don't find out about Wink
