Amniotic fluid shouldn't have a sticky consistency. If you notice something sticky or a thick whitish residue in your underwear, it's unlikely to be your waters. It is more likely to be heavy vaginal discharge or signs of your mucus plug.

So, I'm a little confused and worried because I did a pregnancy test and it showed a weak positive result. What does that actually mean? Why would it show up as weak positive instead of a clear result? Could there be something wrong, or is it just too early to tell? Would love some clarity on this.
