A member asked:

What color and consistency is amniotic fluid and how do you know if your leaking fluid? 35 weeks pregnant?

Amniotic fluid: It is very clear, and watery. If you are getting vaginal leaking this is important to know if it is amniotic fluid. Call your ob/gyn. There is a simple test to see if it is amniotic fluid, because if the amniotic sac is leaking this means the baby may no longer be in a sterile environment, and if caught early there are ways to protect the baby.

Leaking Urine: In most cases women who are this far along are actually leaking urine and not amniotic fluid. But, leaking amniotic fluid is not good and there is a simple test at the obs office to distinguish the two fluids.
