Hello,
Your symptoms suggest that you could be leaking amniotic fluid. Please contact your health care provider immediately to clarify the situation. You need a speculum examination to see where the fluid is coming from, fetal monitoring, test for liquor with Nitrazine papers etc. and absolute bed rest with elevated foot end. Since you reach term in another week, if possible, labor should be postponed until that period. Otherwise, preparations must be made to receive a preterm child, since chances of onset of labor are more. In case of fetal jeopardy, labor should be done quickly. Wish you safe motherhood.
