Leaking amniotic fluid?

[cait430]

I am 10 weeks pregnant and yesterday when I was standing up in the kitchen I felt a warm gush of liquid come out of me. It felt almost like I was just starting my period. I ran and got a paper towel (being that I was in the kitchen) and wiped. I wiped to what seemed to be a light brown watery fluid. It had already  saturated my underwear, but was not enough to saturate my pants or anything. I did wipe myself though. It stopped after I wiped myself, and hasn't happened again. Everything else seems to be okay... I am not bleeding or cramping. I am worried that this was amniotic fluid, because I don't think it smelled like urine. It is the weekend and I can't get ahold of my doctor. Should I be worried?

I wanted to do a follow up on this as i thought i had miscarried i went for another scan and it showed my baby healthy and the reason i was leaking blight brown fluid is because i had blood in my uterus from my previous scans now im 3 months and past the first trimester so there is hope that everything is okay when this happens and i wish all the woman on here a healthy pregnancy and sometimes we worry but that is because that is our motherly instinct im happy with my scan result all the best to everyone :)

im greatful for finding your post i had the exact same thing happen to me light brown leakage was coming out of me the other day.and i was thinking the same thing it could be my amniotic fluid. I went for a u/s the week before and they said i had blood in my uterus and the day before the leakage happened i had got haemorids and been putting alot of pressure on my bowels sorry for all this info but i will not know if i have miscarried but i have had doubts in my mind i have all week until i get to go for my u/s monday. this has put my mind to rest i can be prepared for it when i go for my scan that i have miscarried because the nausea has gotten worse and my breast are more tender and im ment to be almost 12 weeks but a really big thank you.

I'm sorry, hun. I know how devastating this can be. Try to stay strong and let yourself grieve as long as you need to.

I wanted to give a follow-up on my last post in case anyone else ever experiences this. I did go to my dr. today and she assured me that it was probably a bladder leakage and had an ultrasound to check the baby anyway. Well, Just as my instinct had told me, I was right on there being something wrong and thinking I lost amniotic fluid and not urine. The u/s showed no heartbeat and the baby's head was showing signs of swelling due to the death. The amniotic fluid sack was barely covering the baby. My body has not passed the baby and I was sent home to wait for my body to naturally pass the baby. I have a follow-up visit in a week to check the status and to have a d and c if nothing has happened. I am of course devastated by all of this. It was my first pregnancy and halfway prepared myself for the possibility of miscarriage, but it is still hard. Hopefully next time I will have a healthy full-term pregnancy.

If you don't think it was urine, then I would go to the ER and have yourself checked just to be safe.
