    If you are concernced, go and get it checked out by all means. It is possible it is just extra mucus - sometimes it can be quite watery and you can have loads of it. The waters don't smell like urine or anything either - some say that it smells similar to semen and kind of sweet - it didn't smell like semen to me, but it did smell sweet and not like my mucus.

    Hey Pish

    when your waters break...most women find that they get an intitial gush and then regular trickles...or...some women just get a small initial trickle and then little leaks. This all depends on the position of your baby (head well down in the pelvis can act like a plug) and how much fluid around your baby.

    As a general guide if it is your waters...everytime you change position, cough, laugh, sneeze you will leak a little. The fluid smells kind of musty, and not acidic like urine.

    Sometimes in the final stages of pregnancy the pelvic floor can relax so that if you are straining...like sneezing and walking up a hill at the same time ...you can leak a little urine

    also mucos can also start to be lost from the cervix from 37weeks onwards...and for some women it comes away in little bits and others a big glob...this can be clear or slightly blood stained.

    I hope this helps
