Probably way TMI.....

This is probably way TMI for some people but I am getting really stressed out!  Since a week ago I have been leaking a ton of fluid.  I felt several large gushes last weekend and went to get checked out by the doctor on Monday.  They checked to see if it was amniotic fluid, which it wasn't thankfully.  The doctor said it was probably pregnancy-related disharge.  It is watery and clear, sometimes a tiny bit yellowish and once a milky color.  Well it has been continuing for the whole week now.  I am literally soaking through thin pantyliners within a few hours at times (disgusting...I know).  Wednesday some was actaully dripping down my leg!  I have never experienced anything like this at all!  Normal discharge seems thicker to me too. 

I am just worried that I could start leaking amniotic fluid and not know it and think it is this discharge.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  It seems to be constant which is so irritating.  I just want the baby out at this point so I can stop worrying :(

    I was actually going to ask my doctor about this today at my appointment. Had some discharge but the recent stuff seems to just soak through liners and panties and has a pretty distinctive smell to it, which some have said is what amniotic fluid smells like.

    Just hang in there, you are so close to your EDD that maybe it is just your body getting ready for birth?

    I just posted something somewhat similar.  I actually went to the doctor about a week ago because I was feeling very wet and my underwear were getting soaked from time to time.  I guess it's so scary because of how 'watery' it is...

    My doctor said that when your membranes rupture it's distinct.  It will literally run down your leg and it will be a decent amount.  I totally understand your concern!  It's nerve wracking!  

    Hope all is well...I'm having more milky discharge for the first time today.  I'm trying to figure out if it's an early sign of labor!
