For the past few days I’ve been having to change my underwear multiple times a day and I genuinely have no idea if it’s discharge, urine, or my water. It’s watery, and I’m not having any contractions or any other signs of labor. I’ve never ever had this much “wetness” down there before. How do I know what it is??
I’ll be 39 weeks tomorrow but I feel like if my water was slowly leaking, it would be paired with other symptoms right?? Ugh idk, please help me! I don’t want to go to the doctor for nothing😩

Call your doctor and ask. Maybe wear a pad too. I’ve been having the same and it’s just discharge but it doesn’t hurt to check with your dr

There’s a lot of discharge at this stage in pregnancy, sometimes I’ll also pee a bit since baby is siting low, but mostly feel the wetness at night or when waking and is lots of discharge, as my doctor confirmed. But still if in doubt ask during your next appointment to get checked if your water broke. They have a special paper that can tell if it’s amniotic fluid or else.

Yes, call your doctor. That happened to me before my water broke. My doctor told me to go to the ER to make sure it was not Amniotic fluid or mucus plug. The ER set me home Telling me everything is still intact, the next day my water broke. Then here comes baby at 34 weeks when I was supposed to be due September 15th.

I was wearing a pad when my water broke, it was like a gushing sensation from down there. Every time I squeezed more came out, But the pad did take most of the fluid
