Did i imagine this product?

I remember reading about panty liners that change colour when they detect amniotic fluid.
however I can't find them, or anything about them anymore.
Has anyone heard of them or did I just dream this up?

Oooh. Not heard of those but they sound interesting! If you did dream it up, patent the idea NOW and get working on production - it's something I'm pretty sure most of us expectant mums would be interested in.

How cool!

Not heard of em though...

no you didnt dream it they are called amniosense hango on i'll try and find you a link there you go

that should say hang on not hango on!

Hmmm....bit expensive though aren't they?

aha!

they seem a bit pricey though..
shame really! could have done with starting a booming business empire..hehe

oops..too late..hehe

If you've got a history of bad things happening with your waters then it would be worth the cost for the peace of mind.

Thats true..and I guess you wouldn't have to wear them all the time.

£21 for 7 which would be £3 a test for peace of mind. I'd have happily spent that last time anyway - first pregnancy and all these bloody midwives telling me that some women don't realise their waters have gone because its such a slow trickle... any dampness had me paranoid!!!

What a great idea!! But 27pounds for 7, surely you would need to wear a few a day and if starting at 36 weeks that would mean a lot!!
I'm crap at maths but that spells dollars to me

I imagine wearing one for a few hours a day would be good enough.
It would be great if they prescribed these to women who have had problems with early water breaking, or leaking etc. Would probably save money for the nhs in the long run by avoiding unnecesary midwife and hospital visits.

Totally agree Bob!!! (p.s. are we thread hopping?) Sure beats channel hopping anyday

Interestingly there are similar pads that can detect uti's and thrush...
may save a trip to the doctor...
