Maya was like that and this one feels quite low, on my 12 and 14 week scans bub was sitting right down on my cervix so it must like hanging out down there. Not so pleasant for me!
Sheza - if your bladder gets really bad, ask your m/w for a referral to a womens health physio at the hospital, I saw one after Maya and while I was preg with the gremlins and they are great, they have some great exercises etc. to help with your bladder/pelvic floor muscles. ]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:53:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14387&PID=299703&title=amniotic-fluid-question#299703 <![CDATA[Amniotic Fluid Question : My bladder is really weak at the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14387&PID=299691&title=amniotic-fluid-question#299691 Author: Shezamumof3

If you put a pad in and lie down for 30-60 mins, then when you get up if it is waters it will gush, cause it will pool for all that time. If it is not waters it will just trickle as usual.]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 17:31:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14387&PID=299557&title=amniotic-fluid-question#299557 <![CDATA[Amniotic Fluid Question : Ok cool, thanks Emma. and thanks...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14387&PID=299406&title=amniotic-fluid-question#299406 Author: Shezamumof3

Auck Hospital don't do the amniosticks any more, they are comparatively expensive and notoriously inaccurate.

I wouldn't worry too much Sheza, excess discharge is common, I needed to wear a pad from fairly early on with the gremlins to stop it soaking my knickers (sorry, TMI!) and some of that was prob bladder leakage too. Amnio fluid leakage is more of a worry early in third tri, it's relatively uncommon prior to that.]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:25:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14387&PID=299398&title=amniotic-fluid-question#299398 <![CDATA[Amniotic Fluid Question : Yeah, Im getting a fair bit of...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14387&PID=299314&title=amniotic-fluid-question#299314 Author: Shezamumof3

Yeah, Im getting a fair bit of discharge that seems to vary in colour etc, but it never smells yuck or antyhing.....
Im pretty sure Im not leaking anything but a bit of pee, I just thought Id ask so I know what to look out for if Im worried about it.]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 13:21:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14387&PID=299314&title=amniotic-fluid-question#299314 <![CDATA[Amniotic Fluid Question : At the stage Sheza is at the test...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14387&PID=299290&title=amniotic-fluid-question#299290 Author: mummy_becks

At the stage Sheza is at the test would be pretty damn accurate. Later in pregnancy its not all that accurate.

Yes it smells like semen, I had that test done after my waters had broke and it came back negative. Only when I very sternly told the OB that I had not wet myself did she do a scan, and what do you know, no waters!!!! bloody docs. ]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 12:43:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14387&PID=299256&title=amniotic-fluid-question#299256 <![CDATA[Amniotic Fluid Question : Oh ok, I cant smell anything like...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14387&PID=299247&title=amniotic-fluid-question#299247 Author: Shezamumof3

It smells like semen. If you think it is put a pad on and your MW can test it.

I was just wondering, how can you tell if you are leaking amniotioc fluid or just wee's?
Im pretty sure its just wee's as I am always needing to pee and if I dont go as soon as I need to some will leak out. But I was reading that around this time in pregnancy and through to the end I have to be careful Im not leaking amniotic Fluid etc.
Im not worried as such, I just want to be careful thats all.
