Hey I hope this doesn't sound to stupid
but how will I know if my water is
leaking? Will it like trickle out
noticably? Lately i've felt like I am
having more 'watery discharge' (sorry
tmi), its kind of hard to discribe but I
also notice my underwear to be more wet
but I never really feel water dripping out
of me and whatnot.. Should I be concerned
or is this just a wonderful change my body
is going through? Oh and i'll be 36 weeks
on wednesday. Thanks..

At 36 weeks I had a horrid discharge....I
never noticably (sp?) had water leaking
like a dripping hose....But my discharge
got more and more twards the end. I
would sugest wearing a panti liner.

Your water will have a very distinct
sickeningly sweet smell. I'm pretty sure
you'll be able to tell the difference
between that and discharge, which should
have no smell.
You're getting close!

My water broke right before they gave me
my epidural, and I was already laying in
bed and didnt really pay much attention
after that.

Even if you just spring a small leak, you'
should be able to actually see/feel some
trickling action.
It's common at this stage of pregnacy to
have heavier discharge, along with some
extra sweating.
Amnionic fluid will normally be slightly
pink, and it will have a sweetish smell.
I thought it smelled a .L.O.T like semen
to be honest.
