Also in amniotic waters by detailed consideration it is possible to find skin cells, hair and alkaloids. Besides, the liquid smell according to scientists reminds a smell of maternal milk. For this reason the newborn child at once after the delivery reaches for mother's breast.
Otkhozhdeniye of amniotic waters – one of sure signs of the fact that patrimonial activity already began. However the situation when waters depart earlier is frequent. And it is very important not to miss this moment, the fruit can live without them only 12 hours.
If there were any problems with a fruit, waters can be painted in green or even brown color. In case future mother sees dribble of dark waters, it is necessary to call the ambulance at once.
As effluent waters look

Very often women at the initial stage of childbirth go to a shower that it was easier to postpone fights therefore can not notice that at them waters since on the general background they will not be visible at all departed. In certain cases after an otkhozhdeniye of waters the woman can feel reductions of a uterus which signal that patrimonial activity passed into a new phase. However often happens so that waters begin to leak long before the beginning of childbirth – sometimes, even in 2-3 months. In this case it is necessary to keep track of quantity which leaves very attentively. So, for example, it is considered that normal it can be natural releases of liquid about one a tablespoon. Sometimes pregnant women even confuse it with urine incontinence. Such loss of amniotic waters is quite natural and does not do any harm to the child especially as waters are restored.
