Slow leak ?

Has anyone ever had a slow leak in their water ? && if so what was your experience ? I was told a week ago that my water bag was bulging && would probably break . I've been in early labor since last Thursday && this morning while I was sleeping I had a small trickle of something run down my leg . I jumped out of bed thinking I was peeing myself but whatever was leaking was clear && (yes gross) but I did a smell test && it was odorless . I brushed it off because in my mind that's not what your water breaking is like . Then I ended up have sex && ever since I keep having something leak which doesn't look/smell like semen && its been a good 4 hours since I had intercourse && I keep having this thin watery (still clear && odorless) discharge leak down my legs . Could this be my water or just weird pregnancy discharge ? I would call my doctor but they're so rude to me when I call (probably because I've called 3 times in the past week thinking im in active labor and not just early labor) . So I'd rather get some advice && input before I go bugging my doctor .

I read online to lay down for half an hour with dry panties on && if its a leak it will pool in your vagina then soak your undies when you get up . Well I tried that && my panties are dry so should I just say its discharge && not call the doctor ?

The same exact thing happened to me with my son. It was my water, I wanted about 7-8 hours before going in and they had to put me on strong antibiotics to make sure me and the baby would be fine. I would go to L&D just to be safe. Good luck

That is definitely your water breaking! It can break with a slow leak or a big gush. But the slow leak is more common! With you having sex you'll probably go into labor anytime. I would go get it checked and you'll probably be admitted! Once your water breaks they have about 24 hrs to deliver the baby.

I would say it sounds like your water. Call or go get checked.
