How do you know if your leaking amniotic fluid at 28 weeks?
Signs of leaking amniotic fluid Leaking amniotic fluid might feel like a gush of warm fluid or a slow trickle from the vagina. It will usually be clear and odorless but may sometimes contain traces of blood or mucus. If the liquid is amniotic fluid, it is unlikely to stop leaking.

Can your waters leak slowly without you knowing?

Is it common to leak amniotic fluid?
PROM, or leaking amniotic fluid after 37 weeks, occurs somewhere between 8 and 15 percent of pregnancies. PPROM is far less common, occurring in about 3 percent of pregnancies. But it’s more serious, since it comes with the risk of premature labor and birth before 37 weeks.
