Amniotic Fluid? TMI photo

Question. I’ve had some clear and some white discharge. Everything I’ve read says leukorreah should be mild in smell.. but this is a sour/sweaty smell.. should I be worried?

It honestly sounds like urine and/or liquidy discharge, but you can go get checked if you’re worried!

If it is amniotic fluid, then that’s a very small amount and is likely a leak that will heal itself. But again, go get checked if you’re worried! ❤️

Amniotic fluid smells sweet (or so I’m told). Something with a foul or sour smell doesn’t fit with that...and if it was a leak, you’ll definitely have that happen more than once

Just looks like normal discharge. I get so much extra discharge during pregnancy that I wear panty liners everyday.

Labor nurse here! That just looks like really watery discharge, especially since there’s the white discharge. You’ll have a lot of discharge throughout your pregnancy and it will continuously change consistency. You can call the doctors office and mention it to them and see what they say if you feel you need to. Discharge can have a sweet smell also. As long as it is white (not green, gray, or a yellow color) it’s probably not an infection.


But again, call with any concerns!


Amniotic fluid will continuously leak if it is leaking, even a slow leak will continuously leak.
