Measuring behind...

Please, any experience helps.
Today I had my internal check and everything went well with that.
But when he measured me he said I was measuring at 33weeks. 3 behind. He wasn't to concerned because baby has dropped down to 1 and said that could very well be why. I was perfectly content with that answer until I was talking to my mom, that I have been very moist. I told her that ever since I got extremely sick and was in the hospital with what they thought was pneumonia, and coughing so bad that I dislocated a rib I have been peeing a little when I cough, move, sneeze... and now just at random times in the day I get uncomfortably wet.. I chalked it up to normal and never thought about it until now. I had no idea that it could be amniotic fluid, so I never smelt or checked, or asked anyone. Now I'm really nervous because when I think about it, the wetness isn't did colored or thick. It's just wet.
Has anyone else ever leaked fluid? What did it feel like, and what did your doctor do?

    I forgot to say he ordered me an ultrasound for my next appt. just in case to check growth and fluid... But I never told him about the wetness. Maybe he wouldn't have decided to wait a full week for it if I did tell him?

    I would call back and tell him because that totally could be the reason.  Go with your gut and don't doubt yourself.

    I assume you're referring to your fundal height being 33 weeks?  If so, for what it's worth mine is also measuring at 33 weeks, while I am actually 36 weeks.  I had an ultrasound today, baby is actually measuring ahead (67th percentile).  I was told that the fundal height measurement is not necessarily accurate, especially near the end of a pregnancy (because baby can drop, etc).  I wouldn't worry too much.  As for the fluid issue, I have been leaking a bit throughout, just tiny amounts.  My doctor tells me not to worry unless it would fill a pad. I would still mention it to your doctor though if I were you.
