i'm sorry this may be too much info!! but im concerned about the fact that i just went to the toilet and my pants were already slightly wet and it had gone through to my pj bottoms slightly. i know its not urine, i don't know wether it could be discharge?. i have no other symtoms like any pains or anything? could this be my waters leaking? if it was surely i would be in pain or something. sorry to be so graphic i;m just paranoid something is wrong.

This happened to me too and it was urine. There is so much pressure on the bladder right now that even when we don't feel like we are peeing we can actually be doing that a little. Then again, it could also be your water. There is no actual pain involved with the water breaking and often it does break and cause a slow leak rather than a big gush like you often see in the movies. You definitely need to go in and see the doc because if this is the water breaking you'll be more susceptible to infection. It is also a sure sign that labor is imminent and the baby can come really quickly after the water has broke.
God bless you and congratulations in advance from a mom of 3!

It could possible be your bag of water however it's more prob. that it is urine a lot of preg. women leak urine and don't even know it b/c when you go to the bathroom your bladdar doesn't empty fully like it did before preg. that' why they do a UTI test every time you go to the dr. b/c your more prone to infection. Also it could be thin discharge discharge does get worse as you get into to your preg. for most women. Also if you've had sex recently that could be why too, there could still be some ejaculate left in you if you did indeed have sex recently. But as always i your that unsure and you think it really is your water you should call your dr. because if it did really break or is leaking they would prob. have to induce labor within the next 24. Good Luck try and relax!

Go to the ER, like now. If you are leaking your amniotic fluid you need to be put on bed rest and monitored. Don't walk around a lot in the mean-time, try to lie down. But really, it's important that you get medical intervention since you are not far enough along. They will most likely admit you to the hospital and monitor you and the baby and your fluid levels and do everything to help your baby stay in there as long as possible. Please don't wait, if you are alone, call someone to take you to the hospital, and call your OB/GYN. Good Luck.
P.S.- It's not always a gush of water when your water breaks, your membranes can rupture early, and it can be a slow and steady leak when this happens, and you don't necessarily lose the mucus plug.

go lay down. if your water is leaking, you will notice more leakage. If you are having discharge, it will not be significantly noticable. If you are really scared call your doctor. your water can break with no pain whatsoever, the contractions usually begin within a few hours. While standing or sitting upright, the weight of the baby blocks the cervix and prevents leakage, so you would slow down significantly, so that's why i said lay down. Don't freak out, be calm either way, like I said if you are starting ot freak, call the doc

It could be if you are full term, I would put on clean dry panties and see if you are still leaking.. try sitting down and standing up a few times.. did it increase? It is really just water or thicker? Cervical mucus can really get out of control at the end of a pregnancy.

Amniotic fluid would be translucent and runny, while vaginal discharge is a milky colour and slightly sticky. Talk to your ob/gyn ASAP because if you are leaking fluid it's a dangerous situation for the baby.

When your water breaks, you know. It's not one of those maybe it did maybe it didn't things. You could have lost your mucus plug which can happen up to two weeks before you gibe birth. If you are very concerned, go to the hospital, and they have little strips that will change color if it's amniotic fluid. It's probably just lukrea. It is very normal to have discharge during pregnancy.

Well if you are pregnant you need to have this checked out. If your water is leaking and you are not far enough into your pregnancy you could lose the baby. If you are not pregnant then more than likely it is discharge, and again this will need to be checked out asap as well.

You do not have to have any pain to have your water break and start leaking. check with your doctor, give their office a call they will tell you how to proceed. Best wishes.
