Losing waters early

Okay, so I feel like I'm losing my waters, I'm pregnant with my third baby, I'm 23 weeks + 3 days, my waters broke at 34 weeks with my first. I go to the toilet all the time, but I don't have a wee, I lose fluid instead, I've done the sniff test, it's clear, sometimes with mucus is odourless, and other times I'll be walking or doing something and I feel pressure then a little gush of water. I also keep having pains in my right hand side and have shooting pains in the vagina. Would you say I'm losing them? I'm worried, I lost some bloody mucus a couple of weeks ago and rang triage for them to tell me it's normal, and I don't want to ring triage to get fobbed off when I suffer severely with anxiety as it is.

I would ring triage and tell them you think you’re leaking waters. They will want to check to see if it’s your hind or fore waters, and whether they are replenishing. There are infection risks. You really should make sure your antenatal care team is aware of this.

@katherinem95 deffo ring triage, if it’s not your waters then phew you will know it’s not... but if it is you need extra monitoring, only they can tell you either way.
Please ring them 👍

You really need to go in. If you have lost your waters you need steroids and antibiotics ASAP.
