Leaking amniotic fluid? Or is it discharge?

Hello everyone,

I’m 26 weeks pregnant. I’ve been very constipated recently and had to use laxative and push really hard on the toilet yesterday.
After I wiped and stood up some type of fluid ran down my legs. It wasn’t a huge amount, like two or three droplets. I wasn’t able to “catch” them so I could take a look at color or odor. There’s not been any questionable fluid after that (7 hours).

What’s your thought? Watery discharge? Leaking amniotic fluid?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

In my experience when your waters go they leak continuously, always best to check with a medical professional though.

As above but best to get checked out.

Mine didn't!

Yes exactly, your experience is different to mine, which is exactly why I suggested the OP needs to seek proper advice from a medical professional.

I’d probably say urine but if you are worried, call your midwife
