  • This is something I've been wanting to know too. I wish someome else that has would comment
  • I haven't but when the Dr broke my water with my first it didn't Smell. If you are leaking you need to get checked. I wish I knew more of an answer. You could always call labor and delivery
  • Thanks I just really want to know because yesterday I felt wet and it didn't smell but I felt like I smelled something and my mom told me I was crazy because she couldn't smell anything lol
  • When my waters broke I thought it smelled like cum lol
  • I don't know how to describe this smell but apparently im the only one that can smell it lol and I cant remember how cum smells so I'm not sure if that's it :)
  • I wld think if it's a steady leak that's clear and odorless perhaps you cld be leaking fluid. Call the nurse tho.. It's hard to differ between severe discharge. I never leaked only after the bag broke. Remember tho, if it has blood @ all go to er.
  • With my first my water was leaking. I dnt recall any smell I just ended up wet and changing before I went to the hospital. Lol. Goodluck
  • When your water breaks or leaks it's clear and can even have little pink in it...but it has no smell to it
  • I had a slow leak which caused me to have to be induced.. my panties were always wet like I was peeing on myself a little but didn't have a smell
  • I went thru this last night because I had the same feeling. You could smell if its urin. I would get checked they can test you. My mucous just got thinner so that's what causes me thinking I been peeing myself.
  • Thanks and I'm going to call my doctor today and see if I can be seen.
  • I went to labor and delivery how long do you have left
  • I'm 35 weeks and 4 days
  • ive been having irregular contractions for the past 2wks and they also had to give me a shot of this medicine to stop my contractions on Tuesday because I went into pre term labor. at that time I was only 1cm and 70% effaced
  • I asked my dr this same ? A half hour ago. She said panties would b wet, and you could feel it running down ur leg. If ur leaking, it would prolly b constant, cuz ur body constantly replenishes it.
  • Even if its a slow leak
  • Mine was a slow leak and the only way they knew for sure was by doing an ultrasound and it showed it was low
  • My level is low, bur im not leaking. They can also find it on a pap, or internal exam I think.
  • This was my experience .. I was constantly feeling wet so I told my Dr at my 37week appointment he did an internal exam and told me my bag had not broke so we did an ultrasound at my 38 week appointment and I was right and he admitted me that night to induce in the morning o
  • @ lacy809 what did the slow leak feel like.
  • I don't remember really feeling it coming out my panties were just wet
  • Was it like a soaking wet because when I.felt down there it was moist and my panties were wet but not a lot
  • No it wasn't soaking.. it was almost like when you sneeze and pee just a little lol but it was noticeable
  • Was it all the time or just sometimes throughout the day.
  • It wasn't constant but pretty frequently
  • They also told me last night that the baby might plugs it up with the head so she pushed somehow to see if that might be the case. You also can use a panty liner or pad to put in and they can swap that.
  • How long were you in the er? I want to go but I'm so scared that I may be in pre term labor again
  • What color is the fluid is it like white watery discharge? I have been having that but when i went into. L&d....they said it wasn't my water....
  • It's clear
