Question for MOMs - water breaking??
I am two weeks from my due date and felt something leak into my underwear. However, I've been dilated since week 28 so I've been getting lots of mucous, etc. on and off since it regenerates itself.
however, it's not mucous - it was just a trickle of wetness - but it stopped - just a trickle
PLUS - I had an internal yesterday evening and am having a tinge of blood in the mucous discharge - but that could be from the internal - so confusing!!!
do you think this could be my water? anyone else have a similar situation?

It could be urine. I know not what you wanted to hear I'm sure, but that happened to me with my son and I thought I was "leaking" and went to L&D and it turned out to be urine. Embarrassing, but it does happen a lot!

Re: Question for MOMs - water breaking??
I would call your dr.
I thought I had slipped and peed myself too but my curiousity got to me and I decided to call my dr. and I went in feeling foolish for going there but it was a good thing I did because I was in fact in labor! Only a portion of my water sak had been ruptured which explains why it was like a small little trickle as opposed to the gush you hear most women speak of.
Not all women's water sacs break the same. call them up and go in for a PH test. that will determine whether or not your water has officially broken or not.
Good luck!!

Re: Question for MOMs - water breaking??
Im going to say that its probably not your water breaking. When my water broke with my son it was a trickle type. Even though it wasnt that gush of water, it didnt stop and kept trickling. LMAO though, I can relate to the lack of control, I cant even cough anymore without something going on. Even after 2 previous experiences with my being preggo, my DH gives me strange looks.

Re: Question for MOMs - water breaking??
when my water broke I had just woken up and was still in bed.....I knew right away what it was since it was a lot.....totally clear too.
I didn't know it at the time but there are actually more than 1 sacs of water....only one of mine at burst and it wasn't a TON, but still definitely more than if you were to just pee!

I would definitely call your doctor. Mucous followed by water discharge sounds like water breaking to me.
Mine was not continuous.
Good luck!

I agree, even a little trickle could be your water broke and it is just a tear in the sac and will continue to trickle through out the next few days. Call your doc, did you have your beta strep yet? If it was positive it is very important that you get to the hospital for antibiotics. If you didn't have the beta strep yet it is even more important to call your doc since your status is uncertain with your strep b

I agree too - When my water broke it was 2 little trickles (DH tried to convince me I peed myself) but then I kept getting bigger and bigger gushes until I finally went to the doctor that morning and he did an internal - That's when my water REALLY broke - All over my doctors shoes. 
ETA - I was 11 days shy of my due date.

Re: Question for MOMs - water breaking??
I would call. Whne my water broke it was a little trickle - like I wet myself but slightly different - much different than the mucous discharge. About 5 minutes later it happened again. I was so confused (I was 3 weeks earlier and a few days before 0 dilated).
About 10 minutes after that I had a slightly larger gush - luckily I was sitting at the toilet then. But even then it was a huge thing - maybe a cup full. When I got to the hospital I had the biggest gush and soaked my bed... 
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Question for MOMs - water breaking??
My water broke in a huge gush like someone had turned on the garden hose. But my baby was breech and there was nothing plugging the flow.
This time my baby is head down, so I am always wondering if and when I will know if my water breaks.
