What Causes Clear Liquid Discharge During Pregnancy?

i am pregnant. full term. i woke up this morning to turn over to my other side(typical pregnant night sleep) and in mid-turn i started feeling liquid leak out....quite a bit. so i got out of bed to go to the rest room and check out the situation and my shorts were extremely wet and i could see some discharge but it was mostly just liquid. i believe clear liquid although i was wearing black shorts. there was more clear liquid as i tried to clean myself up. then the liquid started to turn more pink. I really dont know if my water broke or that was just my mucus plug. any help?

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the leak of clear fluid which is continuous mostly suggests amniotic fluid leak.
The mucus plug will be sticky and not clear like water.
And the pink staining of fluid might be blood from cervix.
The pink staining might suggest you are in prelabour phase and might set into labour.
But the definite diagnosis is possible only after physical examination.
So I would like you to consult doctor and get physical examination done to see for the cause of leak and for any cervical changes.
Nothing to worry.Check your fetal movements.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
