possible preperation for labor?

Question

I know you will all say call your doc, but until i can get ahold of him i want some opinions. For the past few hours everytime I go to the restroom It feels like i am peeing and when i wipe its mucus, really watery, how can you tell the difference between normal pregnancy mucus, water leaking, or even urine when i walk around sometimes it drips onto my underwear causing about a quarter size spot, but when i feel it leaking while walking or sitting usually i get to the bathroom and its not in my underwear it just gets on the tolet paper. I am having sharp pains (not constant) in my stomach (not contractions) but I dont know if they are cause for concern or if its in my head.Not infection as i am on antibiotics already for UTI and i finish them tomorrow. What could this be?

Answer 1

It could be your mucus plug. Just try to relax until you can get ahold of your doc. If you are really worried you can always go to the ER - They will transfer you to the Mother Baby unit and they can check you out. During the end of my last pregnancy I was always scraed something was wrong and went quite a bit to the hospital. The nurses were great and said that if ever I was worried the best bet was to come in and get checked out that way I didnt stress about it. Good Luck.

Answer 2

Does it look like snot (sp) ? Probably your mucus plug. Everyone looses their mucus plug before giving birth. Some people loose theirs few weeks before gooing into labor, some right before going into labor, while others' leak out slowly overtime without even noticing.

Answer 3

It could be your mucous plug. It could be your water but the mucous makes me think it is just your mucous plug because amniotic fluid is like water.
Hopefully you get the answer you need.

Answer 4

if it smells sweet it may be amniotic fluid.
