Leaking discharge?

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

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
