I am 39 weeks pregnant and have started noticing a clear, white, sticky fluid coming from my vagina, with a flow similar to a period, but I do not have any pain or contractions. Could this be my water breaking? What should I do?
This fluid could be amniotic fluid, which may indicate that your waters have broken, even if you are not yet having contractions. It is important to contact your doctor or go to the hospital for an examination to confirm this. The doctor will check your baby?s well-being and decide whether labour needs to be induced. Do not delay, as there is a risk of infection once the waters break.
