Clear Watery Discharge 34 weeks pregnant- putting this in 2 times to see if I can get more responses

I am just curious whether I should be more concerned about this or not.  My next dr appt is in 4 days.  I have noticed a random clear watery discharge.  There is no smell to it and no color.  It doesn't happen on a regular basis and it is not enough to soak my pants or run down my leg.  However, it is enough to wet my panties and slightly dampen my pants just in that area.  It doesn't happen regularly but I always know when it does, I can feel it, and I feel like I have wet myself, but I know it's not urine!  I am just curious to know if this sounds like a normal thing or if I should definitely have my dr check for fluid leakage.  The discharge has no stickiness or tackiness to it.  It is just like water!  I know I am not doing anything specific when this happens, I can be sitting down or standing up but I haven't had certain movements cause the discharge.  I hope someone can give me an idea of what might be going on.  I have had 3 previous pregnancies and I don't recall this happening with any of them.  I guess that is why I am so curious.

I actually haven't paid attention to when exactly it is happening.  I have had so many braxton hicks that some times I just don't pay them any mind unless they are very uncomfortable.  I do know that if it did happen during a BH it wasn't a strong or uncomfortable one.  I am currently waiting on the doctor's office to call me back so hopefully we will get it figured out soon!

I will be 34 weeks on Wednesday.   I have actually been having Braxton Hicks contractions on a regular basis.  Although, they are never regular when I have them.  I have some just about every day no matter what I am doing.  2 weeks ago, I did experience some light real contractions mixed in with my Braxton Hicks but they all went away.  I explained that to my dr and she said that I'm good as long as they go away. I hadn't thought anything about the watery discharge at that point but I have had it a few times since my last dr visit 2 weeks ago so it has been on my mind quite a bit now.  I have another appt. on Thursday and I am definitely going to talk to my dr about it then.

It sounds like your water may be leaking. U would get it checked. How far along are you and are you experiencing any contractions?
