Biophysical profiling: An ultrasound scan can detect the baby’s movements, muscle tone, breathing and amniotic fluid levels. Nonstress tests: This is to check the baby’s heartbeat when it is resting and when it is moving. The rest of the pregnancy will be monitored closely to ensure normal development is taking place. If fluid levels are low in the last trimester, the risks include: During that time, there is a higher risk of birth defects, loss of pregnancy, preterm birth, or neonatal loss of life. Oligohydramnios can happen during any trimester but is a more concerning problem during the first 6 months of pregnancy. other unknown reasons, known as idiopathic. birth defects, such as kidney abnormalities. multiple pregnancies, for example twins or triplets. problems with the placenta, for example, abruption. chronic high blood pressure (hypertension). It may also occur in mothers with a history of any of the following medical conditions: This may be evident in cases of leaking fluid from a tear in the amniotic membranes, measuring small for a certain stage of pregnancy or if the fetus is not moving as much as it would be expected to. Oligohydramnios is present when the amniotic fluid index (AFI) seen on ultrasound measures less than 5 cm (a normal index is 5-25cm) and the maximum vertical pocket (MVP) is less than 2 cm. Low levels of amniotic fluid, referred to as oligohydramnios, occur in 4 percent of all pregnancies and 12 percent of post-date pregnancies. Polyhydramnios, also referred to as hydramnios or amniotic fluid disorder, is when there is too much fluid. Oligohydramnios is when there is too little amniotic fluid. Some conditions can cause there to be more or less than the normal amounts of amniotic fluid. When this happens, it is time to contact the health provider as delivery may be imminent. According to Today’s Parent, only about 15 percent of waters break upon the onset of labor. 
The waters usually break toward the end of the first stage of labor. The amniotic fluid contained within the sac then begins to leak out via the cervix and vagina. When the waters break, the amniotic sac tears. Normally, the level of amniotic fluid is at its highest around 36 of pregnancy, measuring around 1 quart. This cord transports food and oxygen from the placenta to the growing fetus.
Umbilical cord support: Fluid in the uterus prevents the umbilical cord from being compressed. Lubrication Amniotic fluid prevents parts of the body such as the fingers and toes from growing together webbing can occur if amniotic fluid levels are low. 
Muscle and bone development: As the baby floats inside the amniotic sac, it has the freedom to move about, giving muscles and bones the opportunity to develop properly. Lung and digestive system development: By breathing and swallowing the amniotic fluid, the baby practices using the muscles of these systems as they grow. Infection control: The amniotic fluid contains antibodies. Temperature control: The fluid insulates the baby, keeping it warm and maintaining a regular temperature. Protecting the fetus: The fluid cushions the baby from outside pressures, acting as a shock absorber. They are also thinking urinary incontinence and I’m 100% sure that’s not the case. Small amounts of Mucus plug still follow the trickle. They are thinking excess vaginal discharge but it literally comes out like a trickle when the baby pushed on my cervix. I went to the hospital today to check again and the test came back negative. Monday was a big leak and I’ve been leaking since then. I’m not loosing my mind, my husband has to mop up the fluid lolįYI : my husband and I did not have sex and baby is fineĬurrently, cleaning my house because I have a burst of energy to do so (nesting to the max) lolĮDIT: I’ve been continuing to leak fluid since late Sunday night. They told me to monitor it for the next 24 hours. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m so confused. I also tested negative for urine and amniotic fluid. I tested negative for infection and bacteria. 
Today, however I met the male doctor and I wasn’t impressed by his lack of knowledge of this scenario. I went to the doctor and they don’t know what it was. I wiped and the mucus plug was present with faint brown and red blood. This morning fluid started trickling down my legs, enough for a small puddle under both feet.
