Angela, I can't stress enough how unimportant "bugging" your doctor is. Keep a close eye on what's going on and if the leaking becomes more copious, get to L&D. It won't hurt anyone for you to be checked again and maybe next time (if there is next time...hoping there isn't!) you can request a quick nitrazine test to determine the nature of the fluid. It's possible it could be a result of urinary incontinence (it can happen without you even knowing it) - sometimes it's possible to tell by smell (urine has a distinct smell, obviously, and amniotic fluid smells sort of "sweet"...totally different), but it's not a foolproof method of diagnosis by any means.

Please let us know what the results are - I'm thinking of you and hoping you get some good news tomorrow so you can RELAX and enjoy the holiday weekend!
