I had a slow leak in my bag and I didn't no at all. I went to a ultrasound at 36 weeks Nd my Dr noticed I had no fluid on my left side. So I was immediately rushed to the hospital and induced. So it needs to be watched, it can be very harmful

I was told to use a clean pad and when you notice any leakage, smell it.  Most of the time it is just a leaky bladder from the baby putting pressure on your bladder.  However, if it smells sweet, call the doctor cuz it could be amniotic fluid.  Best of luck!

No, not normal. While it is true that some women develop small leaks and still proceed fine with their pregnancies due to their bodies replenishing the fluid faster than the leak, it is important to be under doctor supervision since even in such a case, the baby is vunerable to infections since s/he is no longer in a closed environment.

Some women lose some during their pregnancy. Ur body is making new fluid all the time. But if u think ur leaking an abnormal amount call ur doc. They can do an ultrasound to check fluid
