Erm... help? Leak?!

Oushka · Sep 8th, 2009, 05:36 AM

Last week I ended up on antenatal ward due to an undefined leak. They couldnt confirm if it was pee or fluid.
It was pinky watery and quite a lot of it & along with period type cramps they advised rest for 5 days last week and since then Ive had some cramping but nothing that concerned me too much.

Ive just got naked to have a shower and I was stood talking to my hubbie in the bathroom, all of a sudden we both looked down and went errrmmmm....

I had leaked a white watery fluid (like very watery dilute milk) down my legs and all over the floor. Prolly about the amount I would pee on a usual visit to the loo.

Any idea what it could have been?! Waters? Discharge? (can it be like that?!)

I still get period type cramping most days, but the doc said it was just baby moving down and stretching things.
Bubs is moving fine & until this just happened I was fine too!

Im not sure , but I would definatley call your hosp or mw as it could be your waters ?

Im not sure either on what it could have been, all i know is that your waters are usually clear or straw coloured, i would def mention it to the hosp or your MW just to put your mind at rest on what it could have been. I know they say your waters can come as a trickle or a gush, so it could be that??? its just the colour of it you described that makes me wonder wether it was your waters or not, but again just mention it as if it was your waters you'll be at risk of infection hun.

all the best.

See its the colour thats confusing us too. Ive had more fluid since earlier as well, Ive lost a bit of plug over the last week and its nothing like that (which was like snot).
There was quite a lot of it too, trickling/little gushes similar to the feeling of a very heavy period, but it seems to have calmed down a bit now to just a few drips.

MW is in clinic from 2.30pm today so Ill give her a bell.
