could my water be leaking

I have been leaking something all afternoon and have soaked about 10 panty liners. Sorry if tmi but it is musty smelling and not urine. I have been having stronger then usual contractions. If it doesn't stop I am going to get checked but was wondering if anyone would know what it may be. I am 39'4 & have had my show and was dilated to a 3 on Thursday.

Just laid down for 20 mins and when I got up I had fluid come out my water is most likely leaking. Going to go to hospital. Wish me luck!

really depends on the baby some of mne were still others squiggled alot, same with the contractions, some were still when they happened and some moved while I was having them, if your worried at all just ring the hospital, they may want you to come in and check you and send you home until contractions start properly or they may just tell you to come in when contractions start, its better to ring to give yourself peace of mind if your unsure :)

Does baby still move quite a bit after water breaks/leaks? The doctors broke mine with my boys so I am so lost.

yes it sound like it is, its a very unusual smell I sort of think of it as a tinny/sweet smell, weird I know but its def a unique smell, and as long as its clear I wouldnt rush of to hospital, just ring them and let them know :)

Empty your bladder, then go lay down for 15-20 minutes and stand straight up. If you feel fluid come out it is most likely your water and you should get checked out. Good luck :)
