Is it normal to have amniotic fluid leakage in the second trimester with normal fetal movement?

Patient's question:

Is it normal to have amniotic fluid leakage in the second trimester with normal fetal movement?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, fetal movement appears between weeks 18-20 of pregnancy. If fetal movement is more than 10 times within 12 hours, with 3-5 times per hour being normal, a decrease or increase in fetal movement may indicate fetal hypoxia in the uterus. Abnormal fetal movement suggests fetal distress.
Hello, in your case, it may be advisable to wait a few more days for observation. Typically, around the fourth and a half month of pregnancy, fetal movement may occasionally become more noticeable.
