Am I leaking amniotic fluid? 35 weeks pregnant

[Natpowell123]

I am 35 weeks pregnant today. Last week I went to triage for what I thought were contractions and signs of early labour. I had a positive actim partus test so stayed in overnight so I could have the steriod injections. I was then discharged as the ‘tightenings’ had stopped, my waters hadn’t broke or anything. For the last few days I’ve felt really off and uncomfortable, very exhausted, fatigued and crampy/achy in my lower back and abdomen. But today I’ve started noticing wet patches in my underwear, it doesn’t seem to have a smell and seems to be clear. Is this amniotic fluid? It doesn’t seem to be trickling down my legs or anything but will soak through my underwear in patches. This is my first baby and after being told by a midwife several times last week that I had a stomach bug (before the positive actim partus) I feel very reluctant to ring triage incase of being dismissed and spoken to how I was last week. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated xx

Ring triage and discuss. Try to put your last interaction aside for now and make the call, better to be safe.

I would call triage just in case. It will put your mind at rest too.
Maybe stick a sanitary towel in so they can check the fluid.

Put a non scented, non patterned pad on and call triage. When it comes to the safety of your baby you need to put your feelings aside as you'll meet plenty of "professionals" along the way who aren't brilliant.

Echo the above, and add follow your gut, something is troubling you. So head to hospital. I wish you and baby well.

Go to triage. They can swab you and test for amniotic fluid. I went in in early labour. They were going to send me home but then the test came back positive and they realised my hind waters had gone! I was GBS positive so immediately moved to get IV antibiotics.
