Same thing happened with me and it was amniotic fluid. I was 33 weeks and it leaked for about a week. It was clear. I went to the dr about every other day concerned. But they gave me steroid shots to develop the babys lungs, etc..(which you should ask for if they havent done that yet) just to be safe. I ended up having my baby at 34 weeks and he was perfect. 5 lbs 2 oz and he needed no special care at all. We both went home 2 days later. So if you do go into labor early, It will be ok. Your baby will do fine. Every doctor is different and will do different things for babies, But it will be ok if you went into labor now.

I had the same thing, but I wasn't having braxton hicks contractions I was having full blown labor contractions. I just wasn't hurting, when my water broke I thought I had urinated on myself. Call the dr.

I did the comparable element while i became into 32 wks pg. w/ twins. The contractions i became into having have been Braxton Hicks. Drink some water, placed your ft up and in the event that they do no longer stop interior of a few hours, call your OBGYN. thank you to pass, by ways! that's a no longer hassle-free element to end once you're that a approaches alongside! :)

Call your doctor and tell him your new symptoms. There may be something additional going on since your last visit. The smell and the leakage is of concern I would think.

I would check with your doctor! Don't ever feel like you're bothering them- when it comes to doctors- that's what they're there for! If they didn't wanna bother with worried parents- they would have got into a different field of medicine! Take Care and Good Luck to you and your little one!

lay down for a couple of minutes..then stand up..if there is fluid comming out then it might be your amniotic fluid...but the only for sure way to find out if it is amniotic fluid is go to your birthing center and they will check for ferning..if the fluid ferns then it is...good luck

Hey i had the same thing. What you need to do is to smell it and it smells kind of sweet it is amniotic fluid, and if it smells kind of like amonia it is urine.

i did that but it was urine, whenyour water breaks it may be clear but it will have blood in it too and it will be a steady leak
