Should I call or get checked? Advice, please!

I'm 30wks today, and last night I had frequent Braxton Hicks- about every 5-15 minutes for about 2-3 hours. They stopped around midnight & I went to sleep, but today I keep worrying I might be leaking fluid, but I'm having a very hard time deciding if I am. Can anyone tell me what it feels like to leak fluid or how I can tell for sure? Also, how many BH in an hour before I should be concerned? I'm really unsure; this is nothing like my first pregnancy! Thank you ladies!!!

If u think u might be leaking fluid u should go in and they will test it to see if its amniotic fluid or not.

I would get checked out. Even if its not fluid just to be safe.

You can always put on a pantyliner and if you soak through it within an hour It's quite likely fluid. Couldn't hurt to get checked, though.

Ok, thank you ladies!

I was told more then 4 an hour even if they aren't painful should be checked if you are preterm. Def go get checked if you think you are leaking. They can test for that. Better safe then sorry right? Good luck!

If you question whether you should get checked or not, you should probably get checked. Just to be safe. %%-

Thank you, ladies... it just gets confusing because I have had BH almost this entire pregnancy since I got a belly, and I've always read to expect more with second & subsequent pregnancies, but I was never told how many is too many. I've only had the "usual" amount today.
And the fluid is really hard to tell because I have (TMI, so sorry) a lot more discharge than usual while pregnant, this time & last, and its hard to distinguish if there's more than normal.
