Leakage of clear fluid from the vagina without contractions is a classic sign of premature rupture of the membranes. Premature rupture of the membranes occurs in pregnant clients at over 37 weeks' gestation. Vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding and pelvic pressure without contractions are also signs of premature amniotic membrane rupture.
