[Week 35 Mother] What? Is this the amniotic fluid?
Amniotic fluid leakage refers to when the amniotic sac ruptures, causing amniotic fluid to leak. For many expectant mothers, this occurs during labor, but in some cases, it can happen before contractions begin.
When amniotic fluid leaks, it can stimulate uterine contractions, and if the leakage continues for an extended period, there is a risk of uterine infection.
If you experience amniotic fluid leakage, it's important not to take a bath or shower and to seek immediate medical attention.
Towards the end of pregnancy, some women may experience urinary incontinence, where even coughing can lead to a small amount of urine leakage.
It's important to distinguish between urine and amniotic fluid in such cases. If you're uncertain, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation.
