How long will it take for the second baby to be born if the water breaks without any pain?

Since the country opened the second-child policy, more and more children are being born in my country, and many women say that their reactions after getting pregnant with the second child are different from those when they got pregnant with the first child. In addition, they are more experienced with the second child, and have a lot of knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth, so it is more convenient to get pregnant. So how long will it take for the second child to be born without pain after the water breaks?

Many people think of their water breaking as the first sign that they are about to give birth. In many cases it is, but in some cases, warning signs of impending labor can also occur before the fetus is ready to be born. The amniotic fluid contained in the amnion protects the fetus by providing cushioning and preventing contamination of the fetus. Because amniotic fluid is so important for protecting the baby's health, many women wonder how long it will take for the baby to be born after their water breaks. This question is actually unique to every labor and birth experience. Some women give birth very quickly, just a few hours after their water breaks; others take a long time, perhaps 24 to 36 hours, depending on the circumstances.

What are the symptoms of water breaking?

Normal amniotic fluid and urine look similar and are very clear. If the water breaks, it will flow out uncontrollably. However, vaginal secretions will increase in the later stages of pregnancy, which does not necessarily mean that water has broken. Generally, when your water breaks, you will feel a sudden stream of water flowing out of your vagina. When the fetal head descends and blocks the cervical opening, the flow of water will decrease, but some will still flow out as you move. It's best for you to go to the hospital and have a doctor check it out. If your water is indeed broken, you can't wait any longer and you must be hospitalized for delivery. If your water is broken for a long time and not treated, it can easily cause uterine infection. Some people's water breaks before their due date. Your due date is still 8 days away. The baby is full-term and can be delivered, so don't worry. It's best to check it out, maybe your water hasn't broken yet. As long as your water hasn't broken, you can continue to wait.

Since the sutures were opened during the delivery of the first child, the birth of the second child will be smoother than the first. However, it still needs to be decided based on the actual situation of the pregnant woman. The reduction of amniotic fluid will cause the fetus to suffer from hypoxia, so if water breaks, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to wait for delivery. In addition, the uterine contractions need to be closely observed.

The specific time of delivery after water breaking depends on the pregnant woman's own condition. Some pregnant women can give birth to their second child within two or three hours, but some pregnant women take longer to give birth. However, once water breaking is found, it is recommended that pregnant women be admitted to the hospital to wait for delivery.
