Hello,

Leaking of clear fluid (amniotic) per vaginal is mostly suggestive of ruptured amniotic membrane. At this stage, it is quite common but need to be careful.

Here, I suggest you to consult with your obstetrician for pelvic examination to assess properly. You may proceed into first stage of labor very soon.

You need to contact with nearby hospital. Good luck.
