Amniotic fluid indicator?

Question

Has anyone come across and at home amniotic fluid indicator that works? With my last one I had lots of discharge and ended up going to the hospital once because I thought it was amniotic fluid. Would love to find one that works (many online have bad reviews) for some peace of mind the last few weeks

Answer

I’ve seen a few on Amazon that have pretty good reviews and prices. Been thinking about buying one myself. Glow left a message that made me giggle because it’s so medically bias. So many people have home births and even free births (unassisted births without medical assistants) so I think a little amniotic fluid check kit would be helpful to have on hand. Even if you’re going to the hospital for birth, who wants to drive 30 minutes to an hour and be told you peed your pants 😅🤷🏼‍♀️ if I have a test kit and it says fluid then I’ll know what to expect and who to contact when it happens.

Answer

It is not recommended to rely on at-home amniotic fluid indicators as they may not be accurate. If you suspect that your amniotic fluid is leaking, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately. They can perform a test to determine if it is amniotic fluid or something else. It is always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to the health of you and your baby.
