Anyone had a problem with leaking fluid?? (Possible TMI) UPDATED!!

Yesterday was a weird day for me. I woke up yesterday morning and my underwear were soaked, took a shower and about 3 hours later they were soaked again. Then again late last night i had to change my underwear again and i had alot of back pain last night. Does this sounds normal or should i call the OB? Im 27 weeks. I haven't felt the baby move much but i don't usually. I get little pokes now and then but nothing frequent or routine.

ETA: Fluid is thin, liquidy and clear, not white or colored or anything if that means anything.

Update: The OB checked me and said the leaking fluid wasn't amniotic fluid or anything but is actually discharge from a vaginal infection. It's Bacterial Vaginosis. They took a culture to make sure and i should know by Thursday but he is seeing me again tomorrow morning to check and make sure leaking us subsiding. Got to see baby on the sono and she looks great and her fluids look great. Thanks for all your help!!

I would call the Dr. and go asap.........you need to know if you are leaking fluid...that seems like a lot of fluid...........

I would definitely call your doc. If you are leaking fluid, they need to know ASAP.

Call your dr. They are probably going to have you come in to check.

Discharge should go away, fluid leaking will progress.

Most likely they will tell you that it is just increased vaginal fluids that happen in 3rd trimester - BUT since you haven't felt the baby that much and you are unsure I would definitely call the OB - the worst they say is come in and it turns out you are not leaking! You don't want to risk missing a leak. You have nothing to lose by calling - and it will probably help you to relax if you know it is nothing.

Call your OB or go to L&D. Not to scare you, but this happened to me at 28 weeks. I called my OB and he instructed me to go to the hospital. Turns out, my water broke.

ETA: amniotic fluid is liquidy and clear.

Thanks ladies! I called the OB and they moved my appointment up from tomorrow morning to 3pm today to check me out. I haven't seen my OB since i was 12 weeks--he always seems to be busy and i get to see his assistant most of the time for my monthly checks. I will update when i get back!

So glad to hear it's not amniotic fluid...and you are being treated for what it actually is.
