Waters?

Im 38 weeks and I have had alot of what I was thinking was discharge or urine leaking for the last day(ish) more than usual! It’s also mainly when I stand up or cough etc whereas if I need a wee I can hold it fine! It’s also light in colour, like a yellowish! I have had more pressure/pains/tightness but nothing major also haven’t had a bloody show or anything but just wondering if there’s a chance it could be my waters leaking slowly as I read that could happen which I wasn’t aware of or am I just worrying for nothing😂

Waters do have a slightly sweet smell to them, but if in doubt definitely call triage and they can check for you, always better call even if it’s nothing. Xx

I would go in to get checked. Your waters will continue to leak and have an almost silky texture I’d say. My waters broke 12 hours before labour began last time and when I got checked they told me that they like the baby to be born within around 24 hours of waters breaking due to potential infection so do go get checked if it’s been going on since yesterday. I also never had a bloody show.

This happened to me a few weeks ago. I spoke to my midwife about it and she said it was more than likely urine and/or discharge but maybe go get checked to be sure. I did as I also had reduced movements and they swabbed me and it came back negative but I've also started this again annoyingly but waters do tend to be oderless or sweet smelling x

This sounds like me!! I had all thoes symptoms last week from Monday and my midwife sent me to the hospital on the Wednesday after I told her and I had a swap and it was positive for my waters leaking and had my baby that night. I didn't think it was my waters at first as it was always mixed with discharge but the discharge was so watery not like normal discharge x
