The fluid had the appearance of egg white (Figure 1, blue arrows) or water (Figure 2, white arrow). Figure 1 is obtained at home by the patient, and Figure 2 is obtained by the authors during the patient's office visit at 31-week and 4-day gestation with patient permission. As the fluid dehydrated on her skin, its viscosity increased and eventually left the white residue, as seen in Figure 1.
