Please tell me more about the testing strips! What do I ask for when I go to the pool store and how do they work? I had no clue there was anything you could test with at home! TIA!

the hospital uses litmus paper. i didnt get them from a pool store, dh swiped them from the hospital as a joke during my false alarm on friday. I have used them a few times since!
i think you can just ask for litmus paper. anything that tests ph should work. but with the litmus paper - navy blue (alkaline) means amniotic fluid. yellow or light orange (acidic) = discharge, urine, other.. if you get another kind, you might have to do some googling to check which color means what.
Thank you so much!!
