    Hey Blayne,

    Sounds like things might be getting started for you. I'd put a pad on and give you hospital a call. They'll probably get you to come in so that they can confirm that it's amniotic fluid. How exciting!

    I would head of to the hospital to make sure its amniotic fluid as if it has being for a few days there is a risk of infection to you and your baby. If so you will need antibiotics and possibly labour augmented (speed up) at our hospital the policy is antibiotics 18hours after ruptured membranes if the waters have broekn to avoid infection. I'd get checked out just to make sure or at least call the hospital for some advise or the place you intend on birthing.

    go and get it checked out.

    My waters broke at 37weeks with #1 went into the hospital to have it confirmed and was admitted. A week later they finally decided to induce me as i had an infection.

    i cant be induced because this is my first natural birth(hopefully) my son was a c section for being breech, its not alot it just seems to be constant , could it just be discharge??? or because its clear is it definatly amniotic fluid??

    blayne, you need to get checked out. It is not safe to assume that all will be well because you dont want an induction. The hosp wont do anything unessesary, but if you are leaking amnio fluid, you need to be seen. Please get yourself checked... x x
    Good Luck
