A week ago I thought I was slowly leaking my waters and just went to get checked out just to be safe. Turns out everything was fine, and the doctor also said that it might be the starting of my mucous plug, which I now know it was. Doctor said that every woman is different when the mucous plug starts to come out. Mine was 3-4 days of clear water like fluid, then for 2 days turned thick like lotion, and now today I've started having a bloody show (sort of like you have a little bloody nose and sneeze with yucky boogers lol). Hoping that I'm starting to dilate more (almost 40 weeks). Hope this helps!
I know exactly how you feel, I just went to the hospital 2 days ago for the exact same thing. I'm kind of iffy myself but my doctor insist that it's just my mucus plug. I'm not to sure myself since the trickling of water comes out sporadically.
My first started like that, it could be your mucous plug coming out. You are probably close.
