Does it have any scent to it? Does it seem watery or more like discharge?

Call your doctor... You might be leaking Amniotic Fluid...
Just call to be safe...

this happened to me too, and my doctor told me as long as its not a lot of fluid, are you soaking through pads? if so i would go to the ER. good luck!

Could be discharge or something, or your water.
If your pad is soaked in (I think?) 2 hrs and youre getting a steady sort of leak, then it's probably your water.
If you lay down for awhile, and then stand up, does more seem to come out? If so, then it's probably your water.

You could also go to L&D and get them to swab, but if it stops leaking or its never enough to soak your pad, then it's definitely not your water.

i WOULD CALL YOUR DOCTOR! YOU MAY BE LEAKING AMNIOTIC FLUID!EVEN IF IT IS A LITTLE IT IS NOT NORMAL! YOUR BABY NEEDS THE FLUID TO SURVIVE AND ALSO YOU CAN GET AN INFECTION! YOUR ONLY 33 WEEKS, YOU BETTER BE SAFE THAN SORRRY!

i thought the same thing and went to l&d and it was a change in my pH,
call your dr or dr on call and see what they say,
every time i got up i leaked and i thought for sure it was my water.
but go in to be safe

If your water is broken for an extended period of time, there is a risk of bacteria going up your vajj, into your cervix, and possible getting to the baby.
The risk of infection and problems go up if you're strep B positive
Most hospitals prefer you to give birth within 24-48 hrs of your water breaking, in the UK they'll often let you go between 72-96 hrs.
Risk of infection is increased with each vaginal exam but is otherwise pretty low (the leakage pushes all bacteria OUT and away from the baby; vaginal exam pushes all the bacteria back up and into your cervix)
