How long will it take to give birth if the water breaks at full term

When a pregnant woman is about to give birth, the amniotic fluid in her body will usually break first. The methods of breaking amniotic fluid are different for different pregnant women, which is also related to the delivery process of the pregnant woman. Once the delivery process is long, the pregnant woman will feel very painful. So how long does it usually take for high-level water to break?

How long does it usually take to give birth after high water rupture

Rupture of amniotic fluid can be used as a major signal before delivery. The fetus that loses the protection of the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman is prone to hypoxia, so pregnant women should go to the doctor for delivery immediately once the amniotic fluid ruptures. If the amniotic fluid flow in the pregnant mother is sufficient and the color is relatively clear, it means that the CO2 in the uterus can last until the birth of the fetus. If the pregnant woman has less amniotic fluid and it is turbid, it means that the fetus is in a state of oxygen deficiency and requires immediate surgery.

High-level amniotic fluid rupture refers to the amniotic fluid rupture at a higher position, close to the uterus. This situation is difficult to diagnose. Generally, pregnant women will feel vaginal moisture, but the discharge speed is relatively slow, which is somewhat similar to the symptoms of vaginal discharge. Under normal circumstances, delivery will occur within 24 hours after the amniotic fluid breaks, and antibiotics will be given 12 hours later to prevent infection. If the pregnant mother's uterine contractions have not worsened after more than 24 hours, an induction injection should be used. If there is no onset after 3 days, a caesarean section is required.

If the pregnant woman's amniotic fluid breaks when the gestational age has reached 37 weeks, it is considered a full-term pregnancy. Basically, for early rupture of amniotic fluid after 36 weeks, doctors tend not to perform fetal care and can prepare for delivery. If the amniotic fluid breaks down between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, the treatment can be done depending on the condition of the mother and the fetus. The mother will usually be hospitalized for fetal care and given antibiotics and fetal care medications. Generally speaking, the prognosis is good, and if the baby's weight exceeds 2000g, there will be fewer complications.

What to do if water breaks at high level

The number of weeks that the initial rupture of amniotic fluid occurs is different, which will have a great impact on the treatment method and the prognosis of the baby.

1. If the pregnant woman's amniotic fluid breaks when the pregnancy has reached 37 weeks, it is considered a full-term pregnancy. Basically, for early rupture of amniotic fluid after 36 weeks, doctors tend not to perform fetal care and can prepare for delivery.

2. If the amniotic fluid ruptures between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, the treatment can be done depending on the condition of the mother and the fetus. The mother will usually be hospitalized for fetal care and given antibiotics and fetal care medications. Generally, the prognosis is good, and if the baby's weight exceeds 2,000 grams, there will be fewer complications.

3. If the amniotic fluid ruptures early before 32 weeks of pregnancy, the earlier the time, the worse the prognosis and the more likely it is to have a premature baby. In addition, the growth and development of the fetus will be greatly restricted due to the lack and leakage of amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman.

4. If the early rupture of amniotic fluid occurs before 20 weeks, the treatment effect is generally not very good, there are many complications, and the chance of fetal survival is extremely low. Therefore, some doctors may consider induced abortion to terminate the pregnancy after consideration. However, pregnant mothers do not need to worry too much when facing the early stage of amniotic fluid rupture, because sometimes the rupture of the amniotic membrane is not large, or it is an upper rupture of the amniotic fluid, which may heal slowly in the future, and the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman will not be easily discharged again. It is recommended to make a detailed diagnosis by the doctor first, and then decide on the best treatment method.
