Answer

go to the hospital better to know than to sit there and worry about it

Answer

If it's coming out when you get up/shift positions and you don't normally just pee yourself, then it sounds like a leak. Hospital can swab test you for amniotic fluid. Don't bathe down below until you've been checked.

Answer

Short answer is go in and let them test. Last weekend it happened to me and I stayed home but changed clothes so I could monitor how much it continued. It stopped (amniotic fluid keeps coming) and smelled (fluid usually doesn't or smells different than urine). You can also check for color. Fluid is usually clear, pink or less yellow than urine.

Answer

smell it

Answer

I was leaking all day and didn't Know mine was clear and kind of snotty
