Hi all

Another am I/aren't I question. Last night during the contractions I had to go to the loo rather a lot. The first time there was a load of discharge rather like when you have a bad cold and blow your nose - all watery with some green in. (As you may recall, I am the queen of green mucus so the green never bothered me.) Then an hour or so later back to the loo and some odd clear stuff, like stagnant water to feel and it smelt... well, a little sweet, a little salty and certainly not like urine (it was clear). It certainly smelt of next to nothing, but I didn't want to start sniffing my underwear and loo roll too much again (as I did when first pg and wondered what the green was LOL).

This lasted maybe 2-3 hours, in which I just put my feet up and watched TV during the contractions (didn't feel like anything was moving so didn't want to bother anyone), went to bed, did the EPO thing, woke up a few times overnight but that was because I was waaaaay too hot (was almost fainting before I went to bed!) and this morning there was still a little of this fluid coming out.

Is it amniotic fluid or just a change in mucus? If it is amniotic fluid, what should I be doing about it? I don't want to call anyone until I get some major signs (like what was happening on Tuesday, with the whole pain and backside involvement) because I just feel like I'm timewasting TBH, I only ask here because other people may want to know this too!

Just light contractions so far today, a bit of watery stuff coming out and feeling a little iffy still, but nothing that's making me think "labour" so far. And there certainly wasn't a gush, just an uncontrollable trickle. It doesn't feel like my waters have broken, or at least how I imagined that to feel.
