Im also 33 weeks pregnant. I was told it was natural for your body to secrete alot of discharge as you get further along in your pregnancy. Usually a white colour. But if its clear and constantly leaking it could be your waters. Go to your doctor and find out. They can break early

If its liquid and theres a lot of it you could be leaking amniotic fluid, or your water might be breaking.
If its stringy and not watery then its probably your mucus plug.
You need to go get checked out. 8 months is still considered full term, so there is minimal risk to your baby if it is born now. But going days with leaking amniotic fluid and no signs of labor can be an issue to your baby's health.
Go to the ER or call your OB right away and get checked out to make sure nothing out of the ordinary is happening.

You need to go to the hospital so they can check to see if its amniotic fluid. That happened to me when I was 7 1/2 months pregnant and I leaked for about a week, then my water finally fully broke. YOu should put on a pad and see how much leaks onto the pad and what color it is. If necessary you can show them that. Because alot of times they will tell you that you are leaking urine. They would tell me that, but I wasnt. IT was amniotic fluid.

It could just be urine. Embarassing as it sounds, a lot of women in the last trimester think that their water has broke, though it's just a leak of urine.
Next time you experience a leak, go straight to your dr's office and ask him or her to test for amniotic fluid. I'd make an appointment regardless and ask about steroid shots. If you are experiencing signs of pre-term labor, steroid shots will help your baby's lungs to develop more quickly.
How far along are you in weeks? If you are 37 weeks or close to it, you should be fine.

Hospital now. You really need to get this checked. You don't say what it is you are leaking but if it is amniotic fluid and labour doesn't begin then this is not good for your baby. Get someone to drive you to the hospital. Better safe than sorry.

It certainly could. You need to be seen by a GYN so they can see if you're leaking amniotic fluid--if you are, you and your baby could be prone to infection (even if you're not in labor yet). You need to call your Dr or go to the ER so you know for sure.

Most likely you lost your mucus plug. Call your doctor. You might be going into labor early and if you did lose your plug probably by the end of the week

Your water may be leaking out, I would go to the doctor and have it checked because I hear that dry births are really painful. Maybe they can check to make sure

This occurred to me with my first baby. you could properly be leaking fluid. you could desire to flow see your physician or flow to the ER to be checked. it somewhat is a user-friendly try. very almost there... Congrats on infant Mommy!

GO TO THE ER?HOSPITAL. Is there Blood or any pink color or any color to it? Even Clear drainage means you need to call your Doctor and/or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
