Leaking amniotic fluid?! Help!

[applesmellsgreat]

I am 32 weeks pregnant and the past maybe week or two my knickers get soaked with a clear, watery liquid. I just thought it was discharge and normal so hadn't mentioned it to anyone, but after researching I'm not so sure!

It tends to be when I stand up from lying down or sitting back and it really is just a clear, watery liquid. There's no foul smell at all, not even really a smell. It's not urine and discharge looks different I think.

Anyone have any experience? Sorry if this is a bit TMI but pregnancy is rather undignified!

It could be your waters by the sounds of it. I had this with both pregnancies but not until 38 weeks.

Call your midwife/hospital maternity unit and get seen - they can test to see whether it is your waters or not.

My waters leaked for nearly a week with my firstborn and he was OK. But, it is an infection risk and also you want to be checked for pre-term labour. Phone today, don't leave it x

Okay thank you! I will give my maternity unit a call and see what they say..hopefully it's nothing and just discharge but the fact it happens everyday to the point I change my underwear multiple times seems a bit worrying!

I had this - they did induce me early in case of infection. Please get checked.

I had this with my first baby at about 37 weeks. The first time they didn’t believe me so the following week I took a small bottle of the liquid to my check up. It isn’t dangerous but can be an infection risk, as already stated. Please don’t leave it.

Thank you all! I am about drive over to the hospital now to be checked over. I will keep you updated

Everything is fine thankfully!
