My daughter had this happen to her too. The doctor told her it's very unusual to leak amniotic fluid this early in the pregnancy because there's not much in there that early. He said it was most likely urine leakage. He said it happens a lot to pregnant women.

It could be just a change in CF, but I'd suggest the sniff test and going to the doctor.

If you have any suspicion that you might be leaking AF, you really need to get to the doctor.

Try smelling it. I know it's nasty, but what my doctor said is if it smells like urine, it's fine. But if it smells sweeter it might be amniotic fluid.

This is going to sound gross, but do a sniff test on your pad.  If it smells like ammonia, then it's probably urine, that's what What to Expect says.  If it smells sweeter, then it might be fluid.  Also, there might be some OTC tests or something you might be able to find to see if that is what you are leaking.  Most importantly, I'd call your doc. Good luck!
