I had a similar problem just a few weeks ago. I waited a
while to call the doctor and when I told them how long it
had been happening they were not happy with me. I had to go
to Labor and Delivery and they did an ultrasound to check
the levels of amniotic fluid around the baby and they also
did, what I think is called a snowflake test. They take a
culture and put it on a strip and if you are leaking it
turns snowflake shaped. It turns out that all was fine but
I learned a lesson. DON'T WAIT TO CALL YOUR DOCTOR!
