    Is my water breaking?
    I am going on 41 weeks pregnant and I noticed that after the I went to the doctor Friday I have been having a fluid discharge. I also notice that I have to pee more and when I do sometimes it is more clear than yellow. I am worried that I am slowly losing fluid from the sack. I am not going to be checked again until this Thurs and my doc is going to do a stress test and check the fluid amount to make sure the baby is doing fine, but since I am overdue should I go to the hospital just in case instead of waiting, 3 more days?

    What is your due date because it's not unnormal to carry up until 42 weeks.

    To set your mind at ease it wouldn't be a bad thing to go to the hospital.

    You might want to call your ob before going in. But if you can't get through and at any point have major concerns, it is much better to go in than not.

    There's a chance that your urine is clear because you're drinking a lot. (And rightfully so.) But it wouldn't hurt to talk to your ob about your concerns.

    Go to the hospital or doctor's office. They will do a nitrozine test to see if this is amniotic fluid or urine.
