Dear Autumn,

This sounds like it very well could be amniotic fluid. Definitely call/go in to your caregiver to test if it is. This is one of those 'warning signs' that every pregnant woman should pay attention to. It could be nothing, or it could be amniotic fluid, and could be very significant especially with you being 31 weeks.

Our doctors and midwives want to hear from us when things like this occur. No question is a silly question, and no pregnant mom is too "paranoid" or should be embarassed about "bothering" her caregiver.

Take care, Noelle
