What Is Mild And Persistent Watery Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy Suggestive Of?
Hi, I was wondering if my water has broken. About 15 hours ago, I got up to use the bathroom, and my underwear was soaked. It even soaked through the underwear liner. It didn t smell like urine, so my thought was that it was amniotic fluid. So I changed and cleaned up, and I ve been checking my underwear all day today, but there has only been a little bit of fluid come out in these past 15 hours. There is no gushing, but sometimes I feel like I am having a light period flow and barely anything comes out. Another thing is, I tried examining myself and my discharge seems very watery. A lot more watery than usual. Did my water break?

Hi,
Leaking amniotic fluid might feel like a gush of warm fluid or a slow trickle from the vagina. It will usually be clear and odorless but may sometimes contain traces of blood or mucus.
If the liquid is amniotic fluid, it is unlikely to stop leaking.
Also, there is an increase in the amount of fluid in pregnancy but if you are pretty sure that what currently you are having is different than your experience normally, then you should go to the physician for physical examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
