Amniotic Fluid Leakage

by kgarcia, May 05, 2007 12:00AM
I am 22wks pregnant and just woke up to wet shorts.  I have never experienced this before and this is my first pregnancy.  Can this be amniotic fluid leakage?  I am very worried.  I tried the pantie liner test and the pad is not wet.  I cant tell what the fluid smells like, all I smell is my body lotion, but my underwear is not stained.  I think I felt my baby kick a little while ago.  Is she ok?  There is no pain or anything, I just woke up a little wet.  My shorts aren't soaked just moist.

i would go to your doctor as soon as possible , not being in pain is good , but you should get checked out , it could have just been a case of slight bladder weakness , dont panic

I agree with the previous post, I would get checked out to be sure. I am 18 weeks, and will some times leak urine when I sneeze, and sometimes just when I stand up! So it's probably just a bladder thing but I'd check to be sure.
