Water rupture in late pregnancy

When it comes to rupture of amniotic fluid, everyone should be quite familiar with it. Generally, in the late stages of pregnancy, when the amniotic membrane ruptures, amniotic fluid will flow out. And after the fetus enters the birth canal, the uterus dilates and the amniotic fluid breaks. Some pregnant women encounter this situation and are not sure whether it is urinary incontinence or amniotic fluid. The amniotic fluid of pregnant women is very clear and has no odor, but the urine has a strong odor. In addition, the loss of amniotic fluid during pregnancy is not controlled and the amount is relatively large. Pregnant women should acquire the knowledge in this regard in advance.

1. Pictures of water breaking in late pregnancy

1. As the fetus continues to grow and develop, the amount of amniotic fluid in the pregnant woman will gradually increase, until it reaches about 1,000 milliliters in the late pregnancy. Generally, after the amniotic fluid breaks, pregnant women can more clearly feel that a lot of fluid is flowing out of the lower body, and this kind of fluid cannot be controlled by themselves.

2. Nowadays, many friends cannot clearly distinguish between amniotic fluid rupture and urinary incontinence. What needs to be noted is that after the amniotic fluid ruptures, the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman will appear very clear, without any color or smell, and will also be hot and humid. But the urine is different, the color is a little darker, and there is even some smell.

3. When the amniotic fluid breaks, it means that the pregnant woman is about to give birth, which can also be said to be a very emergency signal. After the amniotic fluid breaks, pregnant women should not be too anxious, in order to prevent a large amount of amniotic fluid from leaking out, which may cause the umbilical cord of the fetus to fall off. They should lie down immediately and lift their buttocks. In addition, you cannot take a shower during this period, you can put on a sanitary napkin to ensure that the private parts are clean. Regardless of whether the pregnant woman is about to give birth, she should go to the hospital for examination immediately.

2. What should I do if my water breaks?

1. First determine whether the amniotic fluid has broken. If so, the pregnant woman should not walk, but should lie down immediately and raise her buttocks to prevent a large amount of amniotic fluid from being discharged and the umbilical cord from prolapse.

2. Call your relatives or dial 120 immediately and go to the hospital to give birth. After arriving at the hospital, the doctor will make corresponding solutions based on the condition of the pregnant woman, such as whether the pregnancy is full-term, whether the uterus is contracting, etc.

3. Labor usually occurs within 24 hours of amniotic fluid rupture. If there are no signs of labor within 24 hours, the doctor will recommend induced labor for the health of the fetus.
