Answer
In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
The water liquid released prior to delivery of a child is Najis (impure) (Fataawa Hindiyyah Vol.1 Page 51-Ilmiyyah). The release of the liquid will invalidate the Wudhu not Ghusl (bath).
And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
