Re: Leaking Amniotic Fluid Question - sad post - warning

Just wanted to share something I just read online:

Your uterus is sitting directly on top of your bladder, which can cause you to leak fluid into your underwear. Sometimes it can be quite difficult to distinguish urine from amniotic fluid. If your membranes have ruptured and you are leaking amniotic fluid, it will be an odorless fluid. This can occur with a sudden gush or a constant trickle. If you notice fluid leaking, you need to try to determine if it smells like urine or if it is odorless. If it does not seem to be urine, you would want to call your healthcare provider immediately.*

that is very scary!! I always worry about the increasing discharge as pg progresses.

So amniotic fluid is always clear and odorless right? I think I read somewhere it smells sweet where urine has the amnonia odor.

How truly sad for her. I would get a second opinion of course before I did anything.
