Advice please
Hi there. I am sure that I am being paranoid but I would love some advice. I am 23 weeks and today I have got some wetness in my knickers (sorry if tmi) not sticky like normal cm. I am fairly sure that this has happened before but I have been poorly and am suddenly paranoid that is my waters. Has anyone else had this? Everything else is fine, baby is moving around loads and there is no pain as such. Do you think that it is all ok?

i am 22 weeks and had a similar experience to you. At about 18 weeks i suddenly felt a "trickle" it panicked me so i rang the midwife and she told me to go to the EPU. When i got there they had a look, got me to cough to see if there was anything trickling out. She concluded that the cervix was closed and no liquid was coming out and that it was just a heavy discharge.
Certainly panicked me! I wasnt totally convinced and after too much googling i worried myself even more so ended up buying a product called Ammniosense. They are like sanitary towels that detect if a "Leakage" is a leak of ammniotic fluid or just urine/discharge. They werent cheap (??10 for 2 pads) but they really set my mind at rest.
Really wouldnt worry but if your concerned still perhaps ring your midwife?
Hope this helps a bit

Mrsrc - I was worried (even after the midwife checking me over and using the pads - never seem to stop worrying) before my 20 week scan and specificly asked at the 20 wk scan if my fluid levels were okay and midwife said they were fine. So once you`ve had your 23 week scan im certain you`ll feel happier too. It just seems like another of those lovely pregnancy ailments that we have to put up with. Glad you`re feeling happier anyway!
