8w - wet patch, worried about amniotic fluid

I'm 8w 4d pregnant today and due to previous losses I had an early scan yesterday which showed a healthy baby 😊 however this morning I felt wet down there and after going to the toilet I saw a large wet patch, bigger than my fist.

At the time I thought it must just a large amount of watery CM, or maybe I accidentally peed, but I'm worried now it might be my waters/amniotic fluid. Should I be worried?

It's highly unlikely that it is at this stage.
If you're worried though, call EPU.

Watery discharge is very common though

I'd get it checked out, just in case. I had this a few weeks later and spent a night in hospital. It turned out to be thrush, easily treated.

Call your OBGYN contact to put your mind at ease...

Has it stopped? It's very unlikely to be amniotic fluid so early on, but call EPU to be on the safe side.

Did you have an internal scan? Could be left over gel from that? Or your vagina’s reaction to the internal? I’m 23 weeks and I’ve been getting watery discharge on and off since 12 weeks - literally just looks like a wet patch in my underwear x

You wouldn't "leak" fluid so early on. The gestational sac is about 3 cm at in diameter at this age and so very very little fluid...
Increased discharge is very common though!
Just make sure it's not smelly or itchy.
