Mucho discharge - 38 weeks... bad?

Sorry if this is a bit gruesome but I've been noticing an increase in discharge over the past couple of weeks. It's most noticeable when I get up in the morning as it runs down my legs and is a clearish, quite runny liquid which does smell a bit yeasty.

My midwife did a swab for Group B Strep last week - haven't had the results yet - but I think it's most likely to be thrush.

But how likely is it to leak amniotic fluid at this stage, and what is the significance of that?

Help!

Oysterpots- Discharge does increase towards the end. but if you think it is your waters leaking, there is a test they can do to see if it is. Speak to your mw , or phone the delivery suite and express your concern. It is just a stick test that they can do.
But at 38weeks not a prob if it is your waters.
HTH..
