Has anyone had a "slow leak" after having an amnio done?

I have had an amnio done. Results came back ok. But I am worried about any fluid leaking out. Been going to the loo lots and constantly feel as if i need to go. Is it possible that baby is pressing on my bladder, and i am worrying for no reason, or there really is fluid leaking and need to be checked. If so what do they check and how?

Try not to worry hun, I was convinced of the same thing after my amnio but in the end I put it down to nerves as 3 weeks later all is fine. You can always call your midwife like lilianna says.

After the amnio I was terrified that I would miscarry/go into premature labour. I think it's quite a normal reaction really.
Call your midwife to put your mind at rest, but you'll probably be fine!

I asked my mw what to look out for to know if I was leaking and she said your knickers would constantly feel damp and it wouldnt be sticky like a discharge sometimes is. Oh and its a straw colour. She said if I was unsure there are simple checks they can do to rule it out
Why not call them if your worried.
I had the same fears after my amnio.

I have spoken to the MW, who advised me to put on a MPad and see how I felt in an hour. If it smelled then it wasn't amnio fluid.
Well, that was Thurs and I'm not rushing to the loo all the time. So it means baby was laying where it shouldn't have been. I'm glad it's moved, but it was worrying at the time.

Thanks to all who replied.
