My wife pregnant (gestational age 39 weeks 1 day) with our first child. Normal pregnancy. She just had an involuntary discharge of about a half cup of clear liquid. She is not having regular contractions. We wonder if her water has broke. How much liquid can one expect when the water breaks?
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion there is no definite or specific amount to ascertain leaking fluid. But in case if the membranes rupture there will be gush of leaking fluid. The water just flows by the side of leg and thereafter continuous leaking might be there. But in case of vaginal discharge the above things will not be seen. As you are in term pregnancy I suggest you to consult doctor for physical examination and further management. Observer the fetal movements. Nothing to worry even if the water is leaking as you are already term. Best regards...
