TMI- Leaking Fluid?

How do you know if you are leaking amniotic fluid?
The reason I ask is that I noticed two nights ago that my underware was a tad bit wet, it was clear.
I then noticed the same thing last night (a little wetness, not much, but again clear). I have had a lot of lower back cramps, but I get that a lot. I don't feel anything dripping or leaking, but I notice it when I go to the bathroom. I noticed a bit more this morning. It is seriously a few drops, but still....do you think I a leaking?

i would call your doctor. does it smell? it could be urine that the baby is pressing on your bladder. but if you are due in Sept. i would not risk anything and I would call the dr to make sure everything is ok.

dont be concerned i would just call and ask . they may want to see you.

oh i am 35 weeks and i get cramping also.. i asked my dr about that and he said its normal but TELL YOUR DR about that also.

Thank you! I am not noticing a smell at all.

Re: TMI- Leaking Fluid?

I have increased discharge and it is milky and clear sometimes and its due to baby engaging my doc said. He said the more I walk the more discharge I can get. But call your doc to be sure. I am "due" in Sept technically. Baby is already head down.

When I was leaking fluid I could feel little gushes coming out - which doesn't sound like what you're having.
It's probably the baby leaning on your bladder and causing a different sort of leak! Ah, the joys of pregnancy!!!
