Is my water leaking or just vaginal discharge?

Question

I am almost 29 weeks and for the past couple of days I have noticed that i keep getting wet down there. I have to change my underwear to prevent a infection. Sometimes it just wet and then sometimes its a little trickle that soaks my undies. Its mostly clearish sometimes whitish, could my water be leaking? or is this just a super amount of discharge? Sometimes I will be just sitting there and a bunch comes out and gets the inside of my legs wet where my undies are. 
By the way its very hard for me to just rush to the dr, army hospitals dont get you in quick and they are slow at even returning hospitals. What do ya'll think?
This has been happening for 3-4 days.

Could it be urine? I was leaking urine all the time at the end of my pregnancy. If it is your water it needs to be addressed because it is dangerous for it to leak. You will have to get it checked out. The doctor has a test strip that he can test to see if it's amniotic fluid or not.

A easy way to test to see if the leaking is your amniotic fluid or not is to try and squeeze your muscles down there to stop the flow. If you can stop it when you feel like your leaking than it's your urine, if not it's leakage and needs to be seen.

Good luck.

If your water leaks it will be a constant leak. It won't stop and come back.

Its not uncommon to feel extra discharge during pregnancy. A lot of women wear panty liners to control the extra discharge. But if you're concerned call your doctor.

I was very leaky with my second pregnancy. It got really bad near the end too. Just wear some pads and talk about it at your next doctor visit.
