question: I am 30 weeks pregnant and I am afraid I may be leaking amniotic fluid.  However, I am concerned that if I go to the hospital I will make a fool of myself and only be urinating on myself.  There is no "gush" when I stand.  The color of the fluid on the panty liner is brownish.  Also, I have begun to discharge a little more than normal, and its thick and is almost yellowish.
