Waters leaking?

Hi all, I woke up this morning feeling slightly more damp down there than usual and I can’t help but worry that my waters might be leaking. This isn’t helped by the fact I was watching some videos last night about ladies going into pre term labour. For context I’ve had a busy weekend, my baby shower on Saturday where I wore heels all day and then hosting Mother’s Day lunch yesterday. I’ve put a pad on but does anyone know how I can tell if it’s my waters vs regular discharge please?

Call triage I felt like I was leaking and they can do a test to check . Mine was just excess discharge

Hey, I had been having the same, it lasted a few days but as I couldn’t feel it happening they advised it was likely just discharge. They said you would likely feel it more as ‘gushing’ and feel it coming out if it was waters. Not sure if that helps at all! I would say call and speak to your midwife to explain just to be sure xx

Thank you both! I’ll call and ask the midwife rather than waiting around 🙏🏻

When I went into labour with my first when my waters went I felt like I weed myself

My waters broke early with my last, they were leaking rather than all in one go, and I could feel it physically coming out as I moved about etc? But definitely worth a call to triage just incase x

I rang the midwife and she said to come in and get checked out, they put me on the monitor for 30 mins, did an internal exam & swab and also a scan and baby girl is staying put for now! It was great not being made to feel like a drama queen and they were extremely thorough which was great :) all good just appears to be excess discharge, the joys!
