Is it amniotic fluid or urine leakage during pregnancy?

The changes in the pregnant woman's body will be more obvious in the later stages of pregnancy. Because the fetus grows rapidly in the later stages of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's uterus will continue to expand, and other internal organs will be squeezed and deformed, especially the bladder. Therefore, most pregnant women will experience frequent urination in the later stages of pregnancy. Some pregnant women will also discharge fluid when they cough in the later stages of pregnancy. So is it the pregnant woman who is leaking urine due to coughing or is it the amniotic fluid?

Pregnant women are particularly concerned about whether the fluid flowing out of the lower body after coughing is urine or amniotic fluid. This can be distinguished from two aspects. First, pregnant women can see whether they can hold back the fluid leaking out after coughing. If they can, it means that the leaked fluid is urine. If they can't, it means that it is amniotic fluid. Secondly, pregnant women can use pH pregnancy test paper to check whether the leaked fluid is alkaline. If it is alkaline, it means that the leaked fluid is amniotic fluid.

It is not a trivial matter for pregnant women to cough and leak amniotic fluid in the late pregnancy, because once amniotic fluid leaks, it means that the pregnant woman will give birth soon. At this time, the pregnant woman needs to go to the hospital as soon as possible for delivery under the care of her family. If it is urinary incontinence, you can try to expand the pelvis and habitually do some urine-holding postures, so that the probability of urinary incontinence will become less and less.

Female friends in the late pregnancy should not only pay attention to observe the state of the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman, but also need to pay attention to get enough rest. In terms of diet, they should pay attention to a comprehensive and balanced supplement of nutrition. They should not eat overly irritating and stimulating foods. They also need to take calcium tablets for pregnant women and baby formula regularly to supplement themselves and their babies' growth needs and help their babies grow better and healthier.

Whether a pregnant woman's cough is urine discharge or amniotic fluid discharge can be distinguished in a variety of ways.

1. If your underwear is wet due to coughing, the easiest way is to smell it. If it is due to urination, there will be a strong smell of urine. The smell of amniotic fluid of pregnant women is not so obvious, so it is best to go to the hospital to see a gynecologist for examination and diagnosis.

2. If the amount leaked is very small and the color is light yellow, it should be urine; if the amount leaked is large and the color is transparent, it is amniotic fluid. If it is amniotic fluid, the pregnant woman should go to the hospital to see a doctor immediately.

3. You can also buy pH pregnancy test paper to check it yourself. The amniotic fluid of pregnant women is alkaline. If you are not sure, you should see a doctor for judgment. However, the safest way is to go to the hospital to see a doctor for a thorough examination.
