[lmrogers1]

i fell crampy in my lower back constant but not going away yet not getting worse how ever i feel like wet spots in my panties no blood its clear but how do i know if it is my water and not discharge since i discharge alote

[HeatherLF16]

My water broke when I was 38 weeks pregnant and it felt like discharge I would have so much I would go through a box of panty liners every few days, so I couldn't tell the difference.  I didn't feel right so I went to l&d and had it checked sure enough it was amniotic fluid.  Always better to be on the safe side and get it checked.

Amniotic fluid usually has a sweet smell.  I would call the dr just to be safe.  Good luck.

low back pain is common. use a cold or warm pack. as for you leaking. i would take it up with your doc... and see. good luck!
