Will amniotic fluid leak in late pregnancy?

During a woman's pregnancy, while the fetus is growing and developing, a series of related organs will also grow and develop synchronously with the fetus, and they also provide the fetus with a steady supply of nutrients and oxygen. However, abnormal reactions of these organs in late pregnancy will also cause discomfort to the baby. So, can the amniotic fluid leakage of pregnant women be stopped in late pregnancy?

1. Prenatal signs. The leakage of amniotic fluid in pregnant women is a typical sign before delivery. For most pregnant women, the leakage of amniotic fluid will not stop on its own. Therefore, when the leakage of amniotic fluid occurs, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible and start all preparations for delivery. However, the amount of amniotic fluid leakage is different for each pregnant woman, so there is no need to panic.

2. The amniotic fluid ruptures. The leakage of amniotic fluid in pregnant women means the rupture of the placenta in the human body tissue that follows the fetus. Therefore, the discovery of the leakage of amniotic fluid in pregnant women means that the uterus has already made way for a safe passage for the birth of the fetus. The next step may be accompanied by continuous uterine contractions. The leakage of amniotic fluid in pregnant women is also the beginning of the fetus's labor.

3. Handle it properly. The reason why most pregnant women's amniotic fluid leakage stops is that the head of the fetus has moved down to the cervix, which will reduce the discharge of amniotic fluid. However, even if the amniotic fluid does not continue to be discharged, it is necessary to check whether the amniotic fluid has cracked, and make preparations for delivery in time, and don't be caught off guard.

What should I do if my water breaks in late pregnancy?

If the pregnant mother's amniotic fluid breaks in the early stage, it is likely to cause bacterial infection or umbilical cord prolapse. Therefore, after the amniotic fluid breaks, the pregnant father must take measures to avoid affecting the fetus.

1. What expectant mothers should do: No matter where you are, you should lie down immediately to prevent the discharge of amniotic fluid. The posture to be adopted is to lie flat on the edge of the bed, put the pillow under the buttocks, pull up the buttocks, and keep the head low and the buttocks high as much as possible. The purpose of doing this is to prevent the fetus from suffering from intrauterine hypoxia.

2. What the expectant father should do: Help the pregnant mother lie flat and immediately call an ambulance. On the way to the hospital, let the pregnant mother continue to lie flat. If brown or green tarry substance (meconium) is discharged from the vagina, you should inform your doctor, because this is the result of squeezing of the fetal intestines and often means that the fetus is stressed or in danger.
