Yes, the amniotic fluid is released when the fetus is delivered. During labor, the amniotic sac often ruptures, commonly referred to as "water breaking," which allows the fluid to leak out. However, some amniotic fluid may still be present and is expelled during the delivery process. After the baby is born, any remaining fluid in the amniotic sac typically drains out as well.
