38 weeks pregnant, (warning maybe tmi) labour signs?
I have woken up this morning and during the night have soaked a panty liner right through with what I am fairly sure is just discharge. I have been up for an hour and managed to soak another one. It still looks like discharge to me, it's got a creamy/whitish tinge although it is very watery. Would I be able to tell the difference if it was amniotic fluid ? It's my baby shower today so I am a little freaked out that i may go into labour, been having lots of braxton hicks for weeks but no bloody show, and no sign of it in todays leakage. I am booked in for a c-section 24th, and as I have had 2 previous c-sections I have to go to delivery straight away if it looks like I might go into labour. any hints on how to tell the difference between amniotic fluid and normal discharge? I have never gone into labour naturally. Thanks for your help.

It would be unusual for discharge to be that much. The amniotic fluid is not usually white, but it could be mixed with regular discharge. The only real way to tell is to run by your OBGYN and they can test it to see if it's amniotic or not. The test will take about 10 minutes to run. You could run by right now and if the answer is 'yes', you can schedule your C-section for tonight after your shower or first thing in the morning if you don't start having contractions, which often happens after your water is leaking.

I'm in the same boat as you.. My 1st was a c-section and I am due to have another one on the 29th. I'm having some contractions on and off and I'm having more and more discharge every day. I had to have an emergency c-section first time around b/c of pre-eclampsia and b/c I had no amniotic fluid.. I must have had a slow leak cause my water didn't break and a gush come out of me. Call the Dr. is the only thing I can say and good luck..

Your water is leaking!!! You need to be on the phone with your dr. and on the way to the hospital and not on Yahoo! I was leaking water for an hour before the big gush of water came out of me on the way to the hospital. Good luck.

I would call your doctor. It sounds like your water broke and if it has, you need to go to the hospital so it doesn't get infected.

well... i'm pregnant with my first babies right now, so i can't give you personal experience, but from all the books i've been reading... it sounds like your water has broken. i'd at least call your doctor or midwife if i were you...
