hi yes it's a high possibility that it could have been high leak of the amniotic fluid which hot sealed off on its own . polyhydramnios patients are at a risk for leak and rupture of membranes . in case you experience it again you must visit the er as polyhydramnios pts with leak can
have hand of cord prolapse etc so you need to be careful. yes you can be induced at 38 weeks if polyhydramnios is causing you a lot of discomfort. all the best take care.
