What Causes Clear White Vaginal Discharge And Contraction During Pregnancy?

I'm 34 weeks pregnant right now, at 32 I had gone into preterm labor because of placental abrupstion, it was stopped with magneisum sulfate and I was also given to steroid shots. I was sent home on modified bed rest. Well Monday, I woke up at 6 to horrible contraction, they have been on and off all week & having mild back pain all week. I've also been leaking a clear sweet smelling liquid, what could this be? My doctors have only told me that its normal and that i'm having Braxton hicks contractions but I think it has to be more then just that. Today I went to pee, and it was completely clear and I wiped and had a discharge that was the color of breast milk. Is my water leaking and am I going into labor?

Hi,

Yes it seems like you have had a premature rupture of membranes.
You need to get checked by a gynaecologist to see if your cervix( neck of the womb) has opened or not.
At 34 weeks with history of preterm, abruption sand leak per vagina, I would advise you to go for delivery. At 34 weeks the chances of baby survival are very very good, as good as full term infact.
With rupture of membranes there is chances of getting womb infection , so its best you got to a hospital right away.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
