Positive Signs:
When your water breaks, healthy amniotic fluid is typically clear or slightly pink-tinged. A bit of light spotting can indicate the normal release of the bag of waters. It should be odorless or have a mild, sweet scent, similar to fresh water.
Negative Signs:
If the fluid appears brown, green, or yellow, it may indicate meconium (your baby’s first p**p) in the amniotic fluid, which can signal possible fetal distress. Heavy bleeding, blood clots, or a foul or strong odor are also warning signs that something may not be right.
