This is a Prospective study to demonstrate that the AMNIOSENSE Blue pad can reliably rule in or rule out amniotic fluid leak as a cause of vaginal wetness in pregnancy, thus, can be adopted by hospitals as an amniotic fluid leak detection tool, and can be recommended by care providers for use in a home usage setting. Study Group 1: Women attending the triage / delivery room with unidentified will be provided with an AMNIOSENSE Blue pad to use in hospital until they notice any wetness prior to a clinical assessment as per hospital standard procedure. The clinician performing clinical diagnosis tests for amniotic fluid leak detection, according to the hospital standard procedure will be at all times blinded to the results of the AMNIOSENSE Blue pad. Study Group 2: Women attending the obstetrical antenatal clinic for a routine antenatal visit \> 36+0, and has not been referred for further assessment in triage/delivery unit by the physician will recruited to this study group (Study Group 2). Before leaving the antenatal clinic, they will be given one AMNIOSENSE Blue pad to use at home when vaginal wetness is experienced or in any case when they suspect that they have amniotic fluid leakage. The participant will be instructed to arrive at the hospital within 2 hours of applying the AMNIOSENSE Blue pad, regardless of the test results (positive or negative), to have a clinical diagnosis by the attending physician.
