If you're still concerned and continue to experience the constant leaking (and are fairly sure it isn't simply urinary incontinence, although it's tough to tell!), you may want to make a personal office visit to your OB and let him know you're concerned. I wouldn't consider a constant trickling of fluid at 30w "normal" personally. Before I went into preterm labor, I was leaking clear fluid very slightly for about 3 days and an u/s showed the amniotic fluid to be "in tact" - it wasn't until 3 days later that a nurse at the hospital decided to test it and sure enough, it was amniotic fluid. I don't want to needlessly alarm you, but if it continues and you remain concerned, you might feel better after making another call.

Best of luck to you!
