Labor and just had a lot of watery discharge that is yellowish

[Brittney11]

I have been having contractions for the past 3 days that will be 7 to 8 mins apart and last about an hour or 2 then they just stop. I lost my mocous plug thursday and now just went to the bathroom and when i wiped i had a lot of watery discharge that was kind of yellow and it was like water. I dont think it was my water breaking because im not having any leaking. Do you think i could be in labor and not know it?

Good plan.  Keep up updated!  Maybe you will have a Christmas baby!

nope i still have the same one on but when my husband gets back im going to go to L&D to get checked out anyways cuz ive heard that sometimes the babies head can be like a cork and keep it from leaking out all the time.

Definitely sounds like it could be your water - it doesnt always come in a big gush.  Did you soak the pad?

[Brittney11]

well just went to the bathroom again and i had alot more mocousy stuff when i wiped and now it feels like im leaking when i get up and walk around

[Brittney11]

they told me to put on a pad and if i soak it in an hour to come in if not just wait on contractions to become to painful to walk or talk through

Its hard to know however, I suggest you call L&D (or your OBGYN) and find out what they want you to do.  It may have been some of your water leaking out and a simple swab is all that is needed to determine whether this is the case or not.  Once your water breaks, its important to deliver within a set period of time to minimize infection setting in.
