Ahh I'm leaking...is it my water?
Okay so I had to go to the bathroom but not a lot and DS was nursing so I was just waiting until he was done to go then some fluids came out. I thought I peed myself but then I was holding those pee muscles and a trickle still came out. I went pee then I was walking around and every now and then a trickle comes down. It's def not pee. How do I know if it's my water or not.
I am 37w4d.
With DS#1 at 34 weeks I had a lot of clear discharge that soaked my pants and I thought that was my water but I wasn't and I felt foolish going to the hospital, I don't want that to happen again.

Re: Ahh I'm leaking...is it my water?
Sounds to me like your water, but I wouldn't worry- just call your practitioner to let them know. As long as it's either clear or pinkish you are fine- they just don't want any dark color.

Re: Ahh I'm leaking...is it my water?
Definitely sounds like it could be your water broke! It can come out in a big gush or a slow small trickle. Absolutely call your doctor!!!

Have you called the Dr 
Does it smell kind of sweet? Fluid can have a sweet smell. When my water broke it was a little puddle and then little trickles here and there like you are describing.

Re: Ahh I'm leaking...is it my water?
I wasn't sure when mine broke if it was pee or my water. I called the Dr and told him " My water broke or I peed myself....I'm not sure" He laughed (he is that kind of Dr and it was 12:30 am) and told me to go to the hospital and we would find out.
Don't worry about it....the Drs get it all the time and better be safe then sorry.

Re: Ahh I'm leaking...is it my water?
It stopped leaking. I think I am going to just wait and see. Should it be a steady leak all the time or just some dribble here or there?

I really don't think it has to be a steady stream. A friend of mine had no idea her water had broken, she just thought she was peeing a lot since she was at the end of her pregnancy. Turns out she had ruptured her membranes and had a slow leak. I really would call, if your water did break the doctor needs to know. I really think you're better off safe than sorry.

. My ob rules are any blood or leaking fluid should be followed by a phone call to the office. If your leaking amniotic fluid you want your dr to know. Best of luck.

Re: Ahh I'm leaking...is it my water?
I would 100% call. They can do a really quick test to see if it's your fluids or if it's just urine.
My friend had a really slow trickle, so much that she thought she was just having some incontinence at the end. She went to the doctor and her baby had almost no fluid left! She needed an emergency c/s. That said, she waited a couple of days before being checked out, so I don't say that to scare you, but really call and let your OB know

Exactly. We just covered this in my Bradley classes. Our instructor said that if your water breaks from below the babies head then it will probably come as a gush but you can also break from higher up and then it can come out intermittently and not as much considering the baby will block it sometimes from coming out. Def call the Dr, it doesnt hurt to be sure.

Re: Ahh I'm leaking...is it my water?
This was me. I waited a a day or so because it was inconsistent and really, I just thought I was peeing. Turns out I had a slow leak. Because I waited they were worried about my fluid level and I was induced that day. I was 39.4 days. It's a quick test to see if it's your water vs pee.

Re: Ahh I'm leaking...is it my water?
I knew it was my water as when I lay down it still came out! I would get checked out; if its a slow leak they need to check your levels. Good luck!
