Amniotic fluid is a fluid that is light in color, almost transparent and slightly yellow. Gradually, the fluid may take on lumps from the peeling of the fetus's skin. Once past the due date, the amniotic fluid turns milky.
On the other hand, if the liquid darkens or turns green, it means that the fetus has released intestinal content, known as meconium. This poses a risk to the fetus, as the meconium can cause damage to his lungs if he breathes it in.
