[TMI] Telling the difference between pee and amniotic fluid

[Pinholes]

I'm probably paranoid as my waters went in a slow leak last time, I don't know exactly when as I didn't realise and had barely any fluid left by delivery.

Anyway.

I've been feeling damp all day and it smells like hair dye. It's probably pee and I need to do more pelvic floor exercises, right?

How do I tell the difference between pee and fluid?

Pee smells like pee. Call if you're worried though.

My midwife gave me a little roll of paper that I can test mine with. It goes bright blue when it's fluid. Why they don't give this to everyone I don't know!

Also, just go lie down with a pad on for an hour. If stuff is still coming out it's fluid.
