Hi hun

Just popped over from b+t to see how everyone is and your post caught my eye.
My waters leaked from 32 weeks. It was kinda like what you describe but more like a sticky fluid. It was caused by me standing on a chair to clean exploded scrambled egg off the ceiling (don't ask lol!) and I slipped and fell. I had a rupture in my amniotic sac and caused them to leak slowly over a period of time. It can be quite serious as amniotic fluid is what keeps the baby breathing and developing normally. I had to go every week and have my fluid level measured and if it got too low I would be induced for the safety of my baby.
if you're worried it's your waters leaking then please go get checked out. It is possible for the amniotic sac to heal though, mine did. And the fluid replenished itself so IF you are leaking fluid there is still a good chance you will go full term.

OR it could just be that you're leaking urine. Gross as it sounds but this is really common in the last trimester as baby presses on your bladder causing urine to leak out! Go get checked out to be on the safe side.
I'm sure things will be fine though. Let us know how you get on.
As for your legs, the baby will most likely be laid on a nerve which is making your leg twitch, I used to get this alot.

Hope you're ok

Hey

It is possible for your waters to leak a little, but it is more likely urine. As all the pressure on your bladder can cause this. My midwife told me to put a pad on and do the sniff test (gross I know) but urine smells and amniotic fluid doesnt.

If you find that it doesnt smell you should contact your midwife or doc immediately. As for the legs, I get that all the time, particularly in bed when I am trying to sleep, I stick a pillow inbetween my legs now when I am lying on my side as the legs go numb! Oh the joys!
