Is Leaking Amniotic Fluid Risky During Pregnancy?

My daughter is due Sept. 11. This is her 4th pregnancy. All have been healthy and normal. She lost her mucus plug 2-3 days ago, baby is in right position and low. Her Dr said she didn t think she would make it through this week without delivering. She is leaking fluid now... Not sure she should go in to be checked. She hates to go in and be sent home. Some cramping but no real contractions. Should she be worried that it is amnionic fluid that is leaking and is that dangerous to the baby?
