Discharge vs. Amniotic fluid leak?

mrsthedixon

Since last night, I've been able to feel a bit of leakage coming out into my underwear. Sort of like bubbles of moisture - like it would feel when I got my period (but to a less extent). I'm not sure if this is just discharge (which I've been having all along) or if it's more serious (I read about amniotic fluid leaking -but don't really know how to be sure if it's this or not).

The only reason I'm slightly concerned is because I've never actually felt it coming out before. I'm going to talk to my midwife, but I just wanted to see if anyone else knows or has had this happen?

It's probably just discharge.  I feel it sometimes too.  My doc said the next time I am worried about it to come in and they can do a quick little test to check it.  He said if it was fluid, it wouldn't stop.  It would continue leaking every day!  I hope its nothing to worry about.  Good luck!

Haven't had it happen, and def call your midwife, but my OB told me that as long as discharge is odorless and white, during the 2nd trimester that is normal. And in the 2nd tri, it increases a bit.

they say that if you fill a panty liner in an hour that you need to call because then it is most likely not just discharge.

That being said, there have been times when I have felt discharge coming out before.

I hope you don't have a leak!

It could also be urine. I thought I was leaking fluid during my first pregnancy, but the tests revealed I was just slowly peeing my pants.
