Common "Amniotic Fluid Leak" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Amniotic Fluid Leak

Amniotic fluid leakage is characterized by leaking transparent, odorless fluid with mucus or blood, which drenches the underwear. It can be identified as amniotic fluid by emptying your bladder first and placing a sanitary napkin to check for any leakage after 30 minutes to one hour. Greenish or brown-yellow discoloration of the liquid indicates bowel movements in the womb and is a medical emergency that might cause breathing problems to the baby.
