I'm 26 weeks pregnant and I've been feeling like I might be leaking amniotic fluid. I'm also noticing that my baby has hiccups quite a lot these days. I'm worried about how quickly the amniotic fluid might decrease if there's a leak and what I should be looking out for in upcoming scans. Can you help me understand what's happening and what steps I should take?
