The difference between urine leakage and amniotic fluid leakage in late pregnancy

The entire pregnancy period is very difficult for women. Not only do they have to take care of their own health, but they also have to pay attention to the normal growth and development of the fetus, especially in the late pregnancy. Because it is close to delivery, women will undergo many changes both physically and physiologically. Therefore, this stage is also a stage that women pay special attention to. Of course, women may also experience some urine leakage and amniotic fluid leakage during this stage. At this time, it is very important to understand the difference between urine leakage and amniotic fluid leakage in the late pregnancy.

The difference between urine leakage and amniotic fluid leakage in late pregnancy

1. Differentiate from the color tone

In order to distinguish urine leakage and oxygen leakage well, women can distinguish them from the color, because amniotic fluid is an indispensable fluid for the fetus in the woman's belly. Generally, amniotic fluid is colorless and transparent. Of course, some women's amniotic fluid will be mixed with a small amount of blood when discharged from the body and become light pink. However, if it is discharged from the body in urine, it is basically dark and clear, so it can be distinguished well from this point.

2. Difference in taste

Once a woman has urine leakage and amniotic fluid leakage, if she cannot tell the difference, she can smell it carefully to distinguish them by smell, because the smell of urine basically contains sodium hydroxide and has a pungent smell, while the amniotic fluid of pregnant women generally has no smell. Therefore, this point can be used to distinguish the two conditions very well.

3. Difference in total traffic

If you want to distinguish urine leakage or oxygen leakage, women can also distinguish them based on the flow rate. Generally, in the case of urine leakage, the amount discharged is relatively small, and there will always be a small circle on women's underwear, and it will not be contaminated anywhere through the underwear. However, if the amniotic fluid flows out of the vagina of a pregnant woman, the amount is basically very large, and the amount discharged varies, just like a child's enuresis, and it will stain the sheets and other places.

Urine incontinence and oxygen leakage are actually two common phenomena in the late stages of pregnancy. The main reason is that as the woman is about to give birth, the slowly expanding uterus compresses the urethral opening of the woman, causing urinary incontinence, while oxygen leakage is a sign of childbirth. Therefore, it is possible to avoid some dangerous situations by distinguishing the two phenomena well. Of course, women can use the above three methods in different situations, so that they can distinguish urine leakage from oxygen leakage very well.
