Is amniotic fluid leakage a bad sign?

Answer by  joycloud (113)

It depends on how far along you are. If your baby is old enough to survive outside the womb you won't loose the baby because of leaking fluid. If you aren't full term your doctor may put you on bed rest to minimize the chances of your water breaking. They may also monitor you for infections.

If a pregnant woman experiences any leakage she should see a doctor immediately because something is not right. The fluid is needed to keep the baby insulated and safe.

The amnionic fluid is simply like lubrication when the baby is born. It makes the delivery less uncomfortable, and it also avoids a dry birth, which is not a good thing. When you leak amniotic fluid, call your doctor, and they will call you in. You will be monitored closely for any more leakage. But you will not lose baby.
