I’m 40 weeks + 2 days pregnant and I’ve just got up in night for a wee, had a wee in toilet but when I stood uo to leave bathroom there was a large pool of pale yellow liquid on floor. I wiped it up and it doesn’t have a urine smell at all. Im wondering if this is my waters but I didn’t feel a trickle?

Put a pad in and keep an eye on it, if your pad gets wet then smell it, waters have a distinctive smell (sorry I can’t explain it). Mine went a bit like this, I wasn’t sure if I’d just wet myself a little bit. Even when I went in I was told “you’re probably just wetting yourself” but by this point I knew I wasn’t and baby was there less than 12 hours later!

keep an eye on it, call triage, good luck!

It might be your waters breaking, especially if the liquid had no urine smell. Sometimes it comes as a sudden gush instead of a trickle. Since you’re 40+2 weeks, it’s best to call your midwife or maternity unit to get checked.
