    Question Leaking?

    Today I had some leakage, not sure if it is just really watery CM, urine or maybe slight leakage of waters? The last week or so CM has really ramped up and I have noticed some egg white stuff too. So this morning I felt a bit wet, went to the bathroom and there was a patch the size of a grapefruit soaked through my undies but since then nothing like that, just back to CM again. Nothing else unusual, the little one is still wriggling around happily punching me in the ribs I am probably slightly paranoid because she is still breech so just don't want to be going into natural labour without being aware of it! So I am thinking there is nothing to worry about and just wait until my Ob appointment on Thursday and just need some reassurance pls.

    Did it smell? When my waters broke (both the leak at 13ish weeks and at 37+2) it smelled alot like semen.
    FWIW - Even if it was your waters it doesn't mean your about to go into labour, leaks can repair themselves. I had accupunture to get my labour going, 5 hours later I was only just starting to have contractions. Who know's how long it would have been if I didn't get the accupuncture. I think the hossy lets you go a day or two before they start intervening - even then I think it's just antibiotics (?) Someone should probably clarify that, I'm not too sure...

    HTH

    ETA - Just an idea, have you considered accupuncture to get bubs to turn? Apparently they can do that (it's not the same as the induction accupuncture). I know your still early and probably not in any hurry, but if your worried...?

    Leaking?

    Could have just been your mucous plug and your body getting ready for birth. It can still be awhile before anything else happens.

    Thanks ladies - that's what I thought It had no real smell so I figured it was just some sort of "getting ready for labour" thing but didn't mean I was going to go into labour anytime soon.

    Heva5 - I haven't really considered acupuncture, TBH it isn't really something I have done before so haven't given it alot of thought. I will do some more research online tonight tho - thanks for the tip.
