Could this be amniotic fluid?!
Question: Could this be amniotic fluid!?
Im 36 weeks and yesterday while i'll was sitting on the couch I got up and a small gush of liquid (about a handful) came out, This sounds gross but I stuck my hand down there to see what it looked like and it was like water and it had no smell!. It was enough that it soaked through my sweatpants and i had to change them (i wasnt wearing any underware)!. I could clearly tell it wasnt urine cause I couldnt control it!. Well any help would be appreciated, i did call my ob and leave a message but they take 24-48 hrs to call you back!. Thank youWww@Answer-Health@Com

It could be fluid!. I did the same thing with my first child, and I called the doctor and they made me come in immediately!. They checked to see if I was leaking, and I was!. They put me in the hospital immediately and induced!. I was around 36 weeks also!. It can be dangerous if you are leaking fluid because you and the baby are open to infection!. Call your doctor and tell him/her you are coming in!. They can check you in the office!. If your doctor isn't in, go to the hospital!. It is even possible that your water broke!. When my water broke with my second child, I did not start cramping until hours later!. If you want, wait a little while to see if you start having contractions!. If you do, get ready to go, because you are having your baby! I noticed you said yesterday, sorry!. Apparently, then, your water didn't break, but as the other answer said you need to get to the doctor within 24 hours!. I am amazed no one from your ob clinic didn't call you back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Something similar happened to me!. It most likely is amniotic fluid and you should get to the doctor!. Once that fluid breaks, or leaks, you should be seen within 24 hours, because they fear of infection setting in and also the baby needs that fluid to survive!. If your doctor doesn't get back to you soon, go to the ER!. You can't go to long with no fluid!. Good Luck and Congratulations on your baby-to-be!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
