Leaking

I've been getting a very watery colourless (and odourless I think) discharge
since 25 weeks (I'm now 29 weeks). I seem to get about 1 big leak a day
(about 1 tablespoon of fluid).

I've resorted to wearing pantyliners now!

Is this normal? Any idea's what this is?

Yes, this is normal and is the effect the pregnancy hormones
can have on your regular discharge. If you are worried it is
amniotic fluid, you should have it checked, but most of the
times it is ordinary discharge. Amniotic fluid has a bit of
a sweet smell to it, whereas normal discharge smells closer
to yoghurt or acidy milk.

I get this too. I thought it was because of the progesterone suppositories I
am taking.
