Def call mw or the ward tonight, its just never worth leaving things. they will advise you on what to do. I would put a st on and you can always show them if they want you in.

Hi hun,
i dont have any personal experience but have read on here about it before. The below is talking about amniotic fluid and premature leaking:

It may leak slowly, or it may gush out. Some of the fluid is lost when the membranes breaks. The membrane may continue to leak.
Sometimes when fluid leaks out slowly, women mistake it for urine. If you notice fluid leaking, use a pad to absorb some of it. Look at it and smell it. Amniotic fluid usually has no color and does not smell like urine (it has a much sweeter smell).

If you think it definitely isn't wee, you need to go to get checked ASAP. Can you call your midwife unit at the hospital you are booked in to? get some advice from them.

Got this from another site
Identify it
Amniotic fluid (your "water") should be clear, but it also can be yellow, pink-tinged, brown or green. And, unlike urine, leakage doesn't happen only sporadically; if your membranes are ruptured, you usually continue to leak fluid. If you're unsure whether it's amniotic fluid or urine, put on a pad and lie down for about 30 minutes. If you feel a small gush when you stand, it could be amniotic fluid.
Normal or not? No. Until she goes into labor, a woman should never leak amniotic fluid

Definitely get it checked out. My waters broke last Friday morning at 32 weeks and I thought it was incontinence but 5 hours later I gave birth!

Chances are it is probably nothing but I would definitely get it checked out.

My waters started leaking last time at 33+2, started out as a trickle when I went pee, two days later my water broke on a cervical exam when I told my ob about it. I ended up having a preterm baby at 35 weeks.

I'd get checked out just to be safe! Good luck!

Oh, and the amniotic fluid that I leaked did have a strong odor

Glad it doesn't look too serious for you. The little man is fine but still in an incubator and will be for a little while.

Would have preferred him to stay inside for a little while longer so fingers crossed your little one is better behaved!!
