Hi there All

OK - i have to admit that throughout this entire pregnancy i have been somewhat "moist" down stairs and as the days move closer and closer to the finish line i am becoming more concerned that i may be leaking amniotic fluid or if i was I wouldn't be able to tell the difference....

Sorry TMI ahead....

My discharge is not at all thick or mucousy it is consistantly clear and has no distinct colour (sometimes light yellow but only very slight) or smell, i do however get the sensation of trickles quite often which is probably my biggest concern.

I am carrying very low and thought this may have something to do with it, however does anyone know of a way to work out how to determine if it is indeed amniotic fluid without having to go to the hospital and have speculums put in (yikes 8-[ ) - not my favourite thing to do unnecesarily....

I read somewhere that you can purchase PH Swabs but I'm not sure if these are readily available in Australia....

Would love to hear if anyone else is going through this torment....

thanks

dianna
