I'm 39+2, have been in confirmed early labour since Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, but have made FA progress from that point. However, I've started leaking some kind of fluid
It happens most often at night - which really confuses me as surely it should be more likely when I'm standing up rather than lying down?! - or when I have a really bad contraction. I can feel it come out and I'm as confident as I can be that it is vaginal. It definitely doesn't smell or look anything like urine and it doesn't only happen after sex - BUT I don't think it's my waters: the amniotic sac was intact last time I was checked out in hospital (Thursday night), though it was hanging through my cervix (sorry, TMI), but also the fluid seems a little too thick....not that I've seen amniotic fluid before, but I thought it would be water-like consistency and this is a little more viscose than that, but not as much as normal discharge. Seems to be mostly clear with the odd white-ish bit. Has a smell, but nothing unpleasant or indicative of infection; just non-descript really. Anyone know what this might be??
