Slow Leaking Amniotic Fluid???

Im 37 weeks pregnant, and for the past 4 days ive noticed my undies are a bit damp with clear fluid. I know its not discharge as thats a different look/texture all together. Im worried i could have a very slow leak of AF, or possibly sweat? I live in ON Canada and its cold here and im not usually one to sweat. Especially down there! Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I plan on seeing my obgyn tommorow but just need some kind of opinion here untill then. Please help!


Im due for a c section in 2 days

How I was told to determine between bladder leakage and AF was to go to the bathroom, then lay down on my side for about 15-20minutes, stand straight up and if you feel liquid come out its most likely AF. If you think it is your amniotic fluid you need to go to the hospital and get checked. Leaking fluid can leave you at risk for infection.
