seralyn83 · Mar 19th, 2012, 13:40 PM

Hi Moms out there:

I am currently 17 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. It has been almost 9 years since my last baby. I awoke this morning to quite a bit of fliud, that soaked my panties....After I got out of bed, quite a bit more came out, trickling down my legs and soaking my jammy pants. I am not having contractions and it seems to have stopped. has anyone else had this problem. I am somewhat concerned that my water has broken....Pleas help. any information would be appreciated. It was definitly not urine!

I would def contact your doctor. You could be at risk of infection x

I would call and get checked out just to be safe. I have had mornings were I was pretty leaky after DTD. (sorry if TMI)

I had times where I had clear fluid just soak through my undies. but since im not crampinmg I figure i either peed myself or it was some crazy wierd dishcharge.

I would get checked out straight away. This happened to me with my first pregnancy at 16 weeks. The hospital can just take a swab to check if it's amniotic fluid or not.

I've had lots of discharge where it would run down my leg and kind of soak my undies but not my pants. If I were you, I would get it checked out asap just bc you don't want to think "What if??" I'm sure everything is good though

TMI from me as well, but with my first child I ended up thinking my water broke at some point after being intimate with my husband b/c it was so much and so runny. I am still not sure why 'that' came back out like that but it scared me to death!

That said, definitely check with the doctor b/c you'd hate to guess it was sex-related or something and find out it was baby-related later. Will pray - update us when you know anything!

I do get a gush of discharge in the mornings (guess it's just 'pooled' over night

) however you should go and get it checked out just to be on the safe side
