My next dr. appt is on Friday, but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone knows the difference between normal pregnancy discharge and leaking amnitoic fluid? TMI here (sorry), but sometimes my discharge is yellow/green-ish, and others not, and this has me worried. Just wondering if I can pick you ladies' brains here for any input. Thanks!
Re: leaking amniotic fluid?
If you are truly worried about leaking amniotic fluid I would not be waiting until next Friday to make sure. I would call my doc or go to L&D if I thought I was leaking fluid.
To me it doesn't sound like AF, more like normal vaginal discharge. Discharge during pregnancy can be heavy to the point of soaking underwear occasionally. AF doesn't stop once it starts, so the leaking wouldn't come and go. My AF was clear so I don't know about colors, I know if there is some meconium in it then it have a slight green tinge. Again, I'm not a doctor and if you are really worried I would call them as soon as possible. There is a simple test they can run to check the fluid to see if it is in fact amniotic fluid.
