Amniotic Fluid or Urine?

Question

Help! Not sure if I'm leaking amniotic fluid or urine.  I know that sounds gross and I don't typically just leak urine LOL, but I noticed a significant change this morning. Any tips on how to tell if it's amniotic fluid versus just pee? I'm 37.4 weeks with 3rd baby...

Answer

Answer

Doctors can determine that

Answer

Amniotic fluid should be odor and color free. But go get it checked. It's a simple swab and they get it all the time.

Answer

Could it just be a lot of discharge? I think your biggest indicator is if it's continually coming out, and it's usually very clear, versus the discharge which is usually white. But I agree that the only way to know for sure is to go to L&D.
