leaking amniotic fluid?
I am 25 weeks pregnant. This morning I thought I had lost my mucus plug, after googling it for a good few minutes I was almost positive that's what it was, though I also read that you can lose it and it will reseal itself. I called the Dr.'s office anyway and was put through to the doctor on call who said that it sounded like normal discharge for how far along I was but if there was any change in the discharge to call back. I've been resting/doing school work all day today and here where I live it is almost 90 degrees outside. We have the fans going and we had the windows open trying to hold off on turning the AC in our house on until we really needed to. A few minutes ago however, I got up to get a drink of water and my underpants were soaked through and the crotch seam of my pants was wet. I'm nervous to call the Dr back in case I was just intensely sweating in my groin area but I am also worried that I'm leaking amniotic fluid. The fluid didn't smell like amonia to me so I know it wasn't bladder leakage. Has anyone ever had this happen? Should I call the Doctor back or am I being too paranoid?

I leaked amniotic fluid and eventually lost my mucus plug at 22 weeks and it sounds like your doing the same thing.
I went to the hospital and had 3 ultrasounds and every time they sent me home and told me nothing was wrong and it was normal. (They told me that I was probably just leaking pee from the extra weight etc...) I woke up one morning and there was blood and I rushed to the hospital and DEMANDED they take a good thorough look. I refused to wait in the emergency room. They then found out that the baby had no amniotic fluid and has been without ALL WEEK LONG!!! I was so furious that they had to take me to another hospital where I was on bed rest for 8 days and lost my little girl.
What your experiencing sounds very similar t what I went through. The white fluid didn't smell like anything and I kept hearing that there was so many different smells to it, I didn't know what to look for. I lost my mucus plug too and googled it and put two and two together.
From my personal experience I would get a second opinion as soon as possible. Its better to be over paranoid then under paranoid.
I'm so sorry that I brought up my devastating story while you're pregnant. I know the last thing you want to hear about is a baby being lost. I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully it helped you.
Best of luck to you and the baby :D

The best test to see if you are leaking is to put a dry pair of knickers on. lay down for between half an hour and an hour, then stand up - if you have even a trickle come out (check the knickers to see if they are wet or not), then ring the doctor back. Its so important to get treated if your bag of waters have a hole in or have ruptured at this gestation.
All the best
