Leaking urine/fluid?

Sorry for tmi but every time I go to the toilet literally within 10 seconds of standing up there is a wet patch. Im not sure if I'm just overthinking I was going to buy some of the amniosense pads tomorrow from boots just to put my mind at rest. I did have the same a few weeks back and at my 20 week scan my fluid levels were put down as normal on my scan report. Has anyone else experienced this? It's driving me insane worrying all the time

Your midwife or obstetrician should be able to do a swab of your cervix to see if there's any amniotic fluid there. So do go and get checked out.
Hope you get some peace of mind.

Lie down for 30 minutes, stand up and see if you feel fluid. If you do it's generally your waters.

It's best to get checked out because if it is your waters baby is open to infection. I thought my waters was urine because i leaked when I stood up but had to go pee immediately after!

I had the same in the middle of the night my knickers were really damp and I thought I'd weed myself! But I put on a pad to catch anymore and rang up my hospital and they said it was my waters. If it's clear and has almost no smell (or kind of like a semen smell) then it's your waters. Go and get seen Smile if like me labour doesn't start they will plan you to come in for induction

I'm only 23 weeks I had the same the other week and the midwife wasn't concerned. I think I've just started noticing it again more as I had something else to stress about last week lol 🤯 I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced it

I had really watery discharge when I was pregnant, could be that! Go get a swab from maternity assessment that'll put your mind at ease.

I have this right now! (40 weeks)
Did the pooling test where you pee, put a maternity pad on and lay down for 30 mins, then stand up.
Been checked with speculum as was convinced it was my water breaking.
Apparently it's just very watery discharge.
Having to use pads all the time at the moment because it's so frequent :(

Put your mind at rest-
Do a pooling test.
If liquid still comes out after 30 mins call triage. Keep the pad as they test it.
If they can't tell from the pad they will check with a speculum and you will know for sure.

It's more so when I've literally just been for a wee and stand up then there's a wet patch. There's been nothing through the night when I've been asleep for a few hour then nipped to the loo(as I'm up multiple times) it's when I've finished weeing then it's there
