Watery discharge

Freaking out about having some watery discharge at the moment. I've had it for a while but noticing it more over the last few days. It's clear and doesn't smell of wee. Baby is still kicking away (I'm 19w) and the midwife said to just keep an eye on it. Anyone had anything similar?

I've had the same since around the same time, I've still got it now at 32 weeks :)

Thanks for that. I've spent the entire afternoon convincing myself I'm about to go into preterm labour Confused

Put on a pad, leave it for a few hours then sniff it. I know, I know.

If it smells like semen, speak to your MW ASAP, if it doesn't smell like semen, mention it at your next appointment but all should be well.

Amniotic fluid smells like semen - hence sniffing it.

Yes, I read that (how gross!). It doesn't, I don't think but it also doesn't smell of amonia.

Don't know if it's the same for everyone but my waters have always been pink rather than clear

I got it checked and it was just discharge. Nice to be reassured. I would have been a wreck all weekend!
