Can your water leak slowly?

This is my third pregnancy and I'm not sure if its my water leaking or what. With my first, I woke up soaked and they had to finish breaking it at the hospital. With my second I was induced and my Dr broke it at the hospital. Now, its like I have a very liquidity discharge when I move or bending, or when I stand up. I don't feel like I'm having contractions though just really uncomfortable and lots of pressure but I've been feeling like that for the past few weeks. I'm 36+5 weeks. I don't want to go to the hospital just to be sent back home.

    At prenatal class our teacher said it doesn't always have to be a big gush. Apparently it can trickle out.... If I were you I would give the mat ward a ring and just see what they think.

    Pop a maternity pad on, if you have to keep changing it cause it's wet then it's your waters. It could also be urine from so much pressure on your bladder, or increased discharge. (Just went through this and it's what my midwife said). And yes sometimes there is just a pinprick hole or your baby's head is blocking lots of fluid from gushing.

    Third time mom here too. Call your dr about it they will probably want to do a cervical swab to see if it's urine, discharge, or amniotic fluid. I had the same thing going on turned out to be combo urine, discharge and sweat. Sexy right? My dr office also had some color change panty liners they sent me home with that were supposed to change blue if the fluid is amniotic. Good luck!

    With my son mine was leaking and I didn't realize it--I just thought I wasn't making it to the bathroom in time. I would call your doctor if you're worried

    My water leaked slowly with my first. So makes me paranoid this time around. I wasn't sure if I wet from being sweaty or if my water was leaking. Ended up going in to get checked was my water leaking. I was also having contractions.

    how do you tell the difference between your water  trickling out vs. you just standing up/sitting down and it being so much of that lovely discharge? ETA- I'm paranoid and called my dr! Getting checked out this afternoon
