Hi I was wondering if anyone has ever had a constant leak it has been going on about 3 weeks it's relentless I went to the hospital twice in the first week to check it they said it was just discharge (haven't been back since) but it's still constant and I have to change my pad 3/4 times a day because it's wet there isn't really any colour it doesn't smell so I'm 100% sure it's not urine. I have a growth scan on Thursday. This is my 3rd pregnancy and never had anything like this. I'm 32 weeks tomorrow. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this I'm really worried I'm going to go for scan on Thursday and they are going to tell me my fluid levels are low and it's been my waters all this time. I get a lot of pressure in my pelvis and back ache but its not persistent unlike the leaking. Seriously fed up

I do now I'm 36 weeks along, genuinely thought I had wet myself yesterday but it was just a lot of discharge. I'm sure as you have been the hospital that everything is fine though x

I had this with my first and was tested for Group B Strep - the result was positive and I had to have IV antibiotics in labour. I don't want to scare you but it can be v dangerous if your baby is not protected against it. If I remember rightly it's only a problem once your waters break but as mine did before any contractions I had to go straight into hospital and be induced- actually I think it was called an augmented labour. Speak to your midwife and ask for a test. They don't routinely test in this country and I had to be very firm in asking for a test with my second baby but they did eventually agree and it was positive again so worth being slightly bolshy over. If you really can't get tested on the NHS you can have it done privately very easily.
