Waters gone??

around an hour ago I went to the toilet and felt a popping sensation followed by a trickle of fluid but I've had nothing since or nothing that I've noticed
If it was amniotic fluid wouldn't it be continuous?
I'm 39 weeks so it's possible but I feel as though there should have been more to follow.

Not necessarily. If there is a gush, then the babies head can move down and block up the hole. Usually then there is another gush as you give birth.
Give the midwife a call to let them know and good luck.

I had a leak like that with my first (37weeks). I think they called it "hind waters?" I started Labour gradually and had him the next day and as part of that I had my waters manually broken as well. Looks like it could be it!

When my waters broke with my first it was just a trickle at first. After some walking it would trickle a bit more, I never really had a big gush at all!

It was like that when my hind waters went. You need to get checked as if left for more than 24 hours you have a risk of infection. I had no contractions and had to be induced the following day but ended up with an infection anyway and was very unpleasant

Thank you for the replies I rang MAU and was advised to put on a pad and check it over the space of 2 hours which was dry so was told that it must not of been my waters
