Test the difference between Amniotic Fluid & Urine??

[Winter]

Hello

Someone mentioned in one of their posts that you can get something from the pharmacy to tell the difference between urine & amniotic fluid....

Does anyone know what its called or where I can get it?

I've tried 2 pharmacies and they've never heard of it...

i dont think you can get it from a pharmacy - but your middie or GP should be able to test if you have concerns - everything ok?

I have seen something called AmnioPad at the chemist. It is in the family planning aisle but it is expensive. I would go to the midwife and get her to check instead.

Thanks for the replies. Nothing wrong, just a wet patch in my knickers and me hoping that I'm not becoming incontinent! Unfortunately, I think I am!

I'll keep an eye out in chemists and see if I can find them - AmnioPads - Thanks for the name Alioops.

you are bestt go to hospital and get checked if you even think it may be amniotic fluid as if left for a long period can cause an infection.

Smell the liquid amniotic fluid is sweet smelling like seman, wher as wee smells like wee.
