Im 34 weeks and lately i feel some wetness and cant tell if its discharge, pee or actual water leaking. Thoda scared hu honestly. How do u all figure out the difference? Planning to call my doc but wanted to hear from others.
For checking this, some hospitals use a simple paper test strip which isn't very expensive, but letting it leak is dangerous and can lead to emergency ICU charges later. Don't delay just to save a doctor's fee now, go get a checkup done immediately.
I remember being so confused between normal discharge and fluid leak when I was pregnant! Usually, discharge is thicker, while amniotic fluid is water-like and doesn't stop even if you change position. But if you are in doubt, just call your clinic, they will guide you safely.
Oh, I felt this constant warm trickle in my 36th week and thought it was just sweat at first. When I realized my underwear was completely wet, I panicked. It turned out my water had started leaking, so please get checked immediately by your doctor.
If it feels like a constant wetness that isn't sticky like normal white discharge, it could be fluid leakage. While home rest helps minor issues, for something serious like amniotic fluid, you must skip home remedies and consult your doctor immediately.
Liquid leaking can be amniotic fluid, and you should never take a chance with this. Please immediately wear a clean pad and check with your gynac. If it is clear, odorless, and keeps trickling, call your doctor right away.
