fluid leaking?

I am worried about how to tell if amniotic fluid is leaking out. My doctor said not to worry unless your going through a whole thick pad in a day, but a health nurse said it doesn't have to be that much. Any one know how to tell or when to worry. I have a doctor who tells me not to worry about anything at all, and I am a worrier, so the mix isn't the greatest!

    If I go by his assessment I am fine, I just have to use a liner or two a day and LO's head is right on my bladder so that might be all. My doctor would say it is ok, but I will ask him again.

    Good question.  I had my bloody show early this morning and I am continuing to have a very watery discharge that is filling up a panty liner.  My nurse said I should be fine and to monitor it, but I am still worried. . .

    If it keeps coming, then it's probably your water...where a kick to the bladder is usually just one 'gush'.

    Your water will also smell 'fresh'. 

    They can test it pretty easily to see what it is if you are worried.

    In my situation (with #1), I had just gone pee.  I walked out and then all of sudden I was wet.  Not a huge gush- but my light pad was SOAKED and my pants were wet.  It kept happening.  By the time I got over there, they didn't have enough to test, so they sent me home.  The next morning I came back and while she was examining me I felt another leak which tested positive.  Mine was such a small leak- it was really hard to tell without the testing.
