Well I also check the gestation with B mode ultrasound and directly notice
the amount of amniotic fluid. A dry babe with scanty fluid in the second
trimester is still an ominous sign.
By the way have you also noticed some cases of leaking fluids and ceasing to
leak after a while with or without antibiotic trreatment? Amniotic membranes
are also living tissues and can repair themselves.
