amniotic fluid or urine?

Question

hi Ladies i’m 35w1d and for the past week or so have been leaking a clear fluid, there’s a slight smell to it so i got a swab done to make sure no infection, all was clear. i’m wearing liners, but i’m concerned it might be amniotic fluid..
how can you tell?

Answer

Amniotic fluid doesn’t smell like pee. Also, some people have said it has a slightly sweeter smell to it, but that could be caused by other factors. Only foolproof way to know is to have it tested at hospital

Answer

no they don’t smell the same.. not even sure how to categorize this odor thanks

Answer

Probably discharge. I get clear slippery discharge alot. If i lay down or sit for long my whole inner groin gets wet. Its very normal. I had tests last pregnancies but im not thus time

Answer

It doesn’t smell at all like urine, I’ve heard lots of people say it smells like semen 😄 but I can’t vouch for that, mine were meconium stained with my first so I can’t comment on a normal smell.  They can check pretty easily in the hospital
