How to judge the leakage of amniotic fluid in pregnant women

I believe everyone knows how important the amniotic fluid of pregnant women is during pregnancy. It not only protects the fetus, but also plays an indispensable role in maintaining the life of the fetus. Some pregnant mothers may leak amniotic fluid. So how can pregnant mothers judge whether they are leaking amniotic fluid in their daily life? Let's find out with the editor!

How to judge the leakage of amniotic fluid in pregnant women

Normal amniotic fluid of pregnant women will appear to be closer to urine and is very clear. If the amniotic fluid of pregnant women leaks, it is the uncontrollable loss of our body, and the amniotic fluid of pregnant women appears colorless and odorless.

When the amniotic fluid of a pregnant woman is leaking out, if the amount is relatively large, there will be a feeling of dampness and heat, and it is relatively clear. It is not something we can control artificially. When the amount is relatively small, there will always be a very wet feeling, like urine, but it is not controlled by oneself like urine, and it is continuous. This is the symptom of amniotic fluid leakage in pregnant women.

What does it feel like when your water breaks?

After the amniotic fluid breaks, the pregnant mother can feel liquid discharge from the vagina. Careful observation can also reveal that the liquid is colorless and transparent, with a larger amount than secretions, like water.

In addition, you can feel that the discharged liquid is uncontrolled. When the amount is large, it will feel damp and hot; when the amount is small, you can feel some wetness, like urine, and it is a continuous discharge, even if the pregnant woman contracts the vagina, she cannot control it.

Rupture of amniotic fluid is a very normal phenomenon during labor, and the incidence rate accounts for about 6%-12% of the number of pregnant women giving birth. Rupture of amniotic fluid often causes premature birth, fetal intrauterine hypoxia, fetal infection and other diseases. Therefore, it is considered best to go to the hospital for delivery as soon as possible when the amniotic fluid breaks.

I believe that pregnant mothers who have read this article can correctly distinguish whether it is amniotic fluid leakage or urine leakage. The amniotic fluid of a pregnant woman will usually break automatically before the pregnant woman gives birth, but some pregnant women may experience premature rupture of the amniotic fluid. Pregnant women must pay attention to this situation to avoid affecting delivery.
