How to judge amniotic fluid leakage in late pregnancy

A woman will be pregnant at least once in her life, so as a woman, you must have a certain understanding of pregnancy so that you can successfully become pregnant and create a high-quality baby. Especially when you are about to give birth, you must pay more attention. If the amniotic fluid breaks, you must see a doctor immediately. However, many women do not understand amniotic fluid leakage, so the following will introduce how to judge the leakage of amniotic fluid in the late pregnancy. And then fully prepare for the work.

How to judge amniotic fluid leakage in late pregnancy

Normal amniotic fluid of pregnant women will appear to be closer to urine and appear very clear. If the amniotic fluid of pregnant women is leaking, it is the loss that our body cannot control, and the amniotic fluid of pregnant women has no odor. When the amniotic fluid of pregnant women is flowing 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 that 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 the body 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 discharge of fluid is not controlled, and when the amount is large, there will be a feeling of dampness and heat. When the amount is small, you may feel a little wet, like urine, and it is discharged continuously. Even if the pregnant woman contracts the vagina, she cannot control it. It is very normal for amniotic fluid to break during labor, and the incidence rate accounts for about 6%-12% of the number of pregnant women giving birth. The rupture of amniotic fluid often causes premature birth, fetal intrauterine hypoxia, fetal infection and other diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the hospital for delivery as soon as possible when the amniotic fluid ruptures.

The rupture of amniotic fluid can easily lead to insufficient oxygen for the baby. The harm of premature rupture of amniotic fluid includes:

1. Cause premature birth of the fetus: The fetal membrane is the protective membrane of the fetus. If the placenta is abrupted, the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman will be discharged prematurely, and the protective function of the fetus will be lost. Because after the amniotic fluid is discharged from the pregnant woman, the uterus will shrink immediately, and the continuous stimulation of uterine contractions will cause the fetus to be born prematurely if it is not full-term at this time. However, the organs and functions of premature babies are not fully developed, their body weight is low, their ability to eat and live is poor, and they are prone to death.

2. Cause intrauterine distress of the fetus: If the amniotic fluid breaks before delivery and the fetal presenting part is uncertain, the fetal umbilical cord will fall out along with the discharge of amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman, causing distress of the fetus in the uterus.

3. Cause delayed labor and fetal intrauterine hypoxia: If the pregnant woman secretes too much amniotic fluid, the uterus will stick close to the body of the fetus, stimulating the uterus to cause inharmonious uterine contractions, thereby affecting the progress of the delivery process and the blood circulation of the fetus, causing delayed labor and fetal intrauterine hypoxia.

4. Cause infection of maternal and infant products: The longer the amniotic fluid ruptures, the greater the probability of intrauterine infection. If the fetus inhales infected amniotic fluid from the pregnant woman, aspiration pneumonia will immediately occur. In addition, pregnant women are also very susceptible to infection during delivery or postpartum infection.
