leaking fluid like at 23 weeks!

I'm a first time mom so when I seen that I was leaking it kinda freaked me out.. it's not a huge puddle but just enough to cover a panty liner...tmi (sorry :-/)...it's colorless and odorless so I'm thinking it's just extra discharge...I first felt the pressure in my lower stomach and then I rushed to the bathroom thinking maybe I had to use it...Anyone had this happen before?

Yes you need to get it checked out because if it all leaks out you will most likely go into labor and they can't stop labor after your water breaks. Actually you need to go in right away so they can test you with a strip and tell you for sure that your fluid leaked. Because maybe in the morning it won't test and they will send you home thinking it's just per and then something bad could happen later when it's too late. But if it shows up they can take extra measures to stop labor from coming. This is very important!!

Sweetie, I wouldn't wait to call your doctor.  There should be an 'on call' doctor that will answer calls at night.  If you are leaking amniotic fluid, they will need to see you immediately.  I'm not trying to scare you but the cramping/pressure and fluid leakage are concerning and could require immediate attention. Call your doctor tonight.  good luck

That's not too safe. Your baby fluid levels has to be a good amount  . If I were you I would go get it checked.

You might want to get that checked out to see if it's discharge or amniotic fluid.

Better safe than sorry.
