How to determine if water breaks in the second trimester

Broken water is the condition in which amniotic fluid is discharged from the pregnant mother's vagina. In most cases, broken water occurs at home, so pregnant mothers must master the relevant knowledge about broken water. If the amniotic fluid breaks in the second trimester of pregnancy, it is very dangerous and requires immediate hospitalization. Therefore, pregnant women should have a certain understanding of the symptoms of amniotic fluid rupture in the second trimester of pregnancy, so that they can determine whether it is amniotic fluid rupture early and deal with it early. So, how to determine whether the amniotic fluid has broken in the second trimester of pregnancy?

1. How to determine whether the amniotic fluid has broken in the second trimester of pregnancy

1. If the amniotic fluid breaks in the second trimester of pregnancy, the pregnant woman will feel fluid discharge from the lower body. At the beginning, the amount of fluid discharged is relatively large, and then gradually becomes less and less. If this happens, you need to be alert and go to the hospital for pregnancy treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it will seriously harm the fetus.

2. If the amniotic fluid breaks in the late pregnancy, you need to be hospitalized for treatment as soon as possible. However, in the late pregnancy, the urethra of the pregnant woman is relatively loose, so urine often overflows when she strains. In addition, there is a lot of secretions in the vagina of the pregnant woman, so some pregnant women cannot tell whether it is amniotic fluid or secretions. If the pregnant woman cannot tell the difference, she can go to the hospital for a check-up and let the doctor identify it. If it is amniotic fluid, she needs to be hospitalized for delivery.

3. Under normal circumstances, pregnant women will go into labor within 24 hours after the amniotic fluid breaks. If the amniotic fluid breaks in the middle of pregnancy, she needs to protect the fetus and does not need to give birth. If the amniotic fluid breaks in the late pregnancy and the baby has not been born after 24 hours, it is necessary to actively induce labor, so as to ensure the health of the fetus and the pregnant mother.

Second, the solution to the early stage of amniotic fluid rupture:

Once the amniotic fluid breaks in the early stage, the pregnant mother should remain calm. Today's medical technology is increasingly advanced, and generally speaking, as long as they receive timely treatment, the safety of mother and daughter can be guaranteed. If the amniotic fluid breaks prematurely, pregnant mothers should do the following:

1. Stop what you are doing and lie down to rest immediately. It is best to use a sponge pad to raise the buttocks to prevent excessive amniotic fluid loss in pregnant women or premature umbilical cord detachment of the fetus.

2. If you have any questions about amniotic fluid rupture, you can first use amniotic fluid test paper to confirm whether amniotic fluid rupture has really occurred. If so, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately.

3. Pay attention to daily cleaning, avoid bathing and sexual intercourse, drink plenty of water, do not insert anything into the female vagina (do not use sanitary tampons), do not do pelvic examination, and measure body temperature twice a day.

4. Once meconium is discharged, the doctor should be informed immediately.

5. The doctor will make recommendations on whether to preserve the fetus or terminate the pregnancy based on the duration of the pregnancy and the actual physical condition of the pregnant mother. The pregnant mother will make the final decision after discussing with her relatives.
