I am sorry about this question i know for some people its just too direct but i need to ask. So i called my doc because for some days now i have noticed (maybe even before but i never paid attention) that i go to the restroom and I wipe and wipe and then when i go back to the restroom because i have to go potty again there are just a few spots on my undies. Am i leaking urine, it is clear though and its just a drop or two. Is this normal? I thought id ask while my doctor called.

You could easily be leaking urine - it's called stress incontinence and is very common. Your doctor can check to see if it's amniotic fluid leakage, or just urine...there are lots of lovely discharges we get while pregnant aside from that, also. :)
If it is just urine, which is very common, use a pantiliner - a regular one will do, but a specifically made bladder protection liner (like Tena) tends to contain odour and absorb better.

Probably just discharge, it increases with pregnancy but sometimes it could be urine to a growing baby puts a lot of pressure on a bladder. I know when I was pregnant sneezing made me tinkle my panties. I would ask the doctor to check you at your next visit to make sure your not leaking amniotic fluid. It's a simple test they use a long cotton swab a put a few drops of a liquid on it. Then they swipe it against your crevix. It turns a color your leaking fluid. Pull out a white swab than probably discharge or urine. I had the same thing and wasn't leaking fluid just a lot of discharge and it increases the further along you are

I'd definitely see your doctor. They can actually swab the fluid and test it to see if it is amniotic fluid. It's important because if you are leaking amniotic fluid you might need some special care and bed rest and hopefully the sac will repair itself.
When I was at term with my 1st everyone told me that amniotic fluid would either be a trickle or a flood. Well, for the first two days, it wasn't even a trickle. It was just extra damp. On the second night I wore a pad to bed and by morning it was soaked. I went to the hospital in the morning and my dd was born that evening. but you need to wait a few weeks for that. So better safe than sorry.

Some women do leak amniotic fluid. Small leaks are not a huge issue because you continue to produce more. So leaking amniotic fluid may or may NOT be a problem. It's something to ask your doctor, but at the amounts you seem to be describing, it doesn't sound like an emergency.

i changed into counseled by using my well being care specialist to easily wash with warmth water. in case you employ cleansing soap, use Dove because it has some moisturizer in it. you do not favor your nipples dried out earlier toddler is born, in case you recommend on breastfeeding you want them astounding and comfortable considering they arise to some "trauma" from the toddler the first week or so. Its ok if the colostrum leaks and dries up, even with the very undeniable reality that i have been washing it off contained in the showers considering of route overseas liquid on our boobs isn't the most alluring feeling (i'm 35 weeks pregnant with my 2d). desire that helps!

It sounds like discharge. It's normal during pregnancy to have an increase in discharge. However, if the color change or odor is noticable, consult your doctor immediately.

You get a thin clear discharge when you're pregnant but not liquid-like urine. Wait for your doctor's answer.

the more advanced your pregnancy the more it can push on your bladder and may have little accidents and you could try doing pelvic floor exercises, i did these throughout first pregnancy and didn't have any accidents, second pregnancy l didn't do them and after birth had a few accidents in first couple of days, also at the very start of labour you do need to go to the tiolet constantly,

It could be discharge, but most likely it is urine, as embarassing as that may be. I suggest lots of kegal exercises, and maybe pantyliners.
