Suggest Treatment For Amniotic Fluid Discharge During Pregnancy

Hi, I'm 40 weeks+4 days pregnant according to the due date thats written in my notes, although my husband and I know the real due date is 10 days after and I'm really 39weeks and 1 day because we know when he was conceived and it could even be later as my cycle lasts 32days. The baby has grown a lot recently and is slightly small for the assigned due date but average for our due date. Because it has been a straightforward pregnancy and although I can't get the professionals to change the due date in my notes I want to leave induction as late as possible. However, I have a new concern this morning.I woke up with a small amount of amniotic fluid in my underwear this morning. I believe I may have a small rupture in the top of the amniotic sack because I haven't leaked since and it was 5 hours ago that I woke up. I haven't had contractions and I'm not in labour. I was wondering is it safe to continue the pregnancy or should I get it checked out if I have leaked a small amount of fluid? Also, Is it safe to have sex? thanks

No its not safe to have sex. Moreover you are full term and if you have leakage of amniotic fluid then definitely go to your gynaecologist.
