Feels like I'm leaking

jlynnfine85 · May 2015

I'm 35wks and this morning when going to the bathroom I noticed when getting up I had a couple white drips that had come down on my leg. I've had no previous problems and am not sure if I've had contractions. FTM. During the day at work I've noticed a lot of wetness in my undies. Nothing that soaks through to my pants/skirts but soaks through my underwear. I have a dr appt on Tuesday but just wanted to ask if this is normal. Think I might start wearing a panty liner but it's a creamy wetness more than a liquid wetness. Now I'm afraid to move due to leaking. Sorry for TMI. Thanks in advance for the help

If your worried call your doctor.

My opinion it's just discharge but I don't have a medical degree.

Sounds like discharge. I've had a lot more of it the past few weeks, can't stand not wearing at least a panty liner.
It's pretty common in pregnancy and especially near the end.

I've had a lot of it throughout but the first time it has actually ran down my leg after peeing. I am just on edge since it is getting so close to the end and I don't know what to expect. How would I know if it is something more serious? Due date is July 8th scheduled csection on July 1st but am feeling like it could be sooner. Ugh.

Discharge. Wouldn't worry about it. Just wear a panty liner

good luck!

If it's not running down your leg constantly your ok. If your worried call your doctor

I've had this for a couple of weeks now, I'm 32, I had an ultrasound and my cervix is still closed! I've wet my pants a bit twice, but my doctor says that a panty liner could absorb something else and we might not realize if we're leaking fluid, so I just have to suck it up and carry a change of clothes in my trunk! Still, call your doctor and let him know, he might want to make sure is not your plug (my doctor told me that even when the most common is for it to come out as a white blob sometimes it kinda melts and comes out as thick white fluid).

I've been wearing panty liners my entire pregnancy for this exact reason. No problem - just discharge.

I agree with PP to call your doc to make sure. However, my water broke with my DD and it definitely wasn't white. It was clear like water. I had some blood when I wiped but what ran down my leg and everywhere else was clear. I've also been wearing a pad for months as other PP have said and have noticed an increase the last couple of weeks.

I have had to wear a liner for most of this pregnancy due to it. It's just discharge (not a medical professional) I'm a ttm and never seen amnio fluid but I'm told it's clear. But fluid discharge from my experience is milky and thin. If you gently push on your belly or cough and nothing comes rushing out, then you probably okay.
