feeling a bit 'leaky'....

[duzzlightyearsmum]

Currently 38+1 and have just felt a bit 'leaky' down there most of the morning. Have been backwards and forwards to the toilet quite a lot and what's coming out doesn't smell different and isn't a different colour but there is definitely something 'leaking'. I know baby is incredibly low down (obstetrician asked how I was managing to cross my legs) and has been for a few weeks now. Have been warned that they would not be surprised if I go in to labour any day now. Basically just wondering what this 'leaking' might be and if I should contact midwife/doctor about it?

It's normal to get increased watery discharge in late pregnancy so it's most likely to be that. It could be your waters although they have quite a distinctive smell. Pop a maternity pad on, and if you are worried they can test the pad to make sure it's not waters leaking.

It's also possibly urine as very low down baby can be pressing against your bladder...
