A medical condition involving abnormal discharge or leakage of amniotic fluid during pregnancy.
From amnio- (amnion) plus -rrhea (from Greek rhein, 'to flow'). Created using standard medical term formation for conditions involving abnormal fluid discharge.
Amniorrhea is serious because amniotic fluid protects the baby and allows it to move and develop lungs—losing it too early is why doctors strictly manage pregnancies with fluid leaks.
