Is it possible to have a slow leak of amniotic fluid?

I noticed I have discharge and it almost looks like pee but I don't feel it coming out of my urethra? It's pretty constant and very watery with a tint of yellow. I just don't want to make the trip to l&d if it's pee lol I'm 39 weeks.

He's been head down for a few weeks, I've been losing my mucus plug along with some spotting and at my 36 appt I was dilated 1cm. And I don't know if it looks colored because of my underwear or not lol they're like a teal color. I'll give them a call and see what they say! Thanks!

It could possibly be pee lol my thoughts are that your 39 weeks and your belly and baby are big so the baby can be pushing on your bladder. You shouldnt worry unless it is smelly or making you itch. Good luck and congrats on your baby!!!

It is possible, although I'm not sure what it should look like. If your water broke and baby is head down and pressed against your cervix, he/she could be slowing the flow. I would go ahead and call L&D and ask for their opinion on the matter. They can tell you what to look for to determine whether or not it is urine or amniotic fluid.
Sorry II'm not more help - when my water broke last time, I was using the rest room and I never really thought to look in the toilet, lol! From what I do remember, the fluid was pretty clear, but I wasn'twasn't really examining it.
