33 weeks, got up had a sudden feeling of wet, checked and it was watery, clearish slight white tinge dischage, thought nothing off it. Went back bed for a bit, had sex with partner, only gentle, got up sorted my self out if you know what i mean. I got up made myself a cuppa suddenly ive got the same water discharge running down my legs. Not a gush just 3 or 4 drops running down both legs and had to wipe 3 times, then 10 mins layer it happend again but no where near as much. Also no pain or discomfort.

Mid wife isnt in today so i will ring MAU later.

Could it be because we had sex, has anybody had similar?

OP, I don’t want to scare you but please look into this.

with my first, the water broke and the nurse told me that it hadn’t (based on examination similar to yours). I had the advantage that it broke fully so my bed was completely wet. In addition, my bump was so small that they gave me a growth scan. I was told that “baby is fine, but the water is gone”. This made the hospital act.

for my second, this happened again but no scan was offered - and it was just small gushes. I was told “bladder leaking”. When my little one was born, she had been moving less for the last 48 hours and the water was completely gone - I don’t know for how long. I was really sick after. Hospital didn’t want to know.

7hrs in mau and they did a early labour test which was nagative, they said i need to wait for the swabs. Could be infection. I'm pretty annoyed because, if it is an infection I'm being left for 5 days before the results come back.

You need a scan.
