A pregnant woman with a liquid other than urine or normal discharge coming from the vagina should visit the doctor. This is particularly true if the fluid is green, brown, or has a foul smell. Leaking amniotic fluid will usually be clear and odorless and will continue to leak.
Is it normal to leak water during pregnancy?

How do I know if amniotic fluid leaking?
- Empty your bladder and put on a panty liner or sanitary pad.
- Wear the pad for half an hour or so, then examine any fluid that has leaked onto it.
- If it looks yellow, it's probably urine; if it looks clear, it's probably amniotic fluid.
