Overreacting?

So per the Dr I went home and promptly laid down on my left side with pillows. I even dozed off a little bit but woke up with a start because I had trouble breathing and felt cramping in my stomach. I shifted, didnt help, so I got up and fought some dizziness to get to the table and sat down. Pain stopped, breathing returned, all's well...

Or so I thought. The cramping is back and its lower around my uterus. My stomach is tightening and I can feel lil man a squirming away. But Im feeling either discharge or some kind of liquid feeling trickling from my nether regions. Is it possible to be slowly leaking amniotic fluid without having contractions or am I overreacting?

My water just had a minor rupture with my first child. It was just a little dripping here and there so yes its very possible. You should probably go get checked out.

if you ever think your leaking go in. i can tell you something to do that may give you an idea if you are. lay on your bed and have your legs spread like they are going to check you and cough hard a few times. usually if you are leaking some water may come out. if your still unsure its better to go in. trust me my aunts water broke on a monday and she waited until friday to go in bc she was not sure and she had horrible labor ending in a csection
