What am I leaking???

I am 20 weeks pregnant.  I have been leaking some kind of fluid which is deffo NOT wee.  It is slightly sticky, runny, clear with parts of it slightly milky.  I probably leak maybe half an egg cup full at a time. It has a slight smell of disinfectant, but nothing too strong.  

I have been to the hospital twice.  They have done tests, it is not wee, I do not have an infection, its not thrush.  They have done a scan a few weeks ago when it first happened and she said the baby had enough water.  They cannot tell me what it is.  Has anyone else had this...??   Does anyone know what this is??  ..

I know around 20 weeks I had so much discharge it was like I wet my pants 3 or 4 times a day. I had to wear a pad. I remember all the other moms who were in the same month as me having similar issues. Your hormones are out of control and so the discharge really picks up.

could be just a fluid discharge.  Are you sure it's not "wee" ?  that could definately happen.  especially when you cough or sneeze.

i agree it could be fluids.. It is very normal to have a alot of discharge during pregnancy., I was the same way. If you've been to the doctors and they havnt found anything to be wrong, then i wouldnt be too worried about it. Just if your having discomfort then get some pantyliners. If it continues then i agree go back to see the doctor.

It could just be your bodily fluids that you have when pregnant.  I know with all four of my pregnancies I was always wet but not to the point where I was soaked.  If you continue leaking fluids I would go back to your doctor.
