After becoming pregnant, most women find that their underwear is always wet, which is particularly uncomfortable. Especially in the late pregnancy, there is often water flowing from the bottom, and sometimes there is a faint smell. For pregnant mothers, they are afraid that they have gynecological inflammation, and some pregnant mothers are worried that their amniotic fluid has broken. In general, what is the reason for water flowing from the bottom in the late pregnancy? Why is there not much fluid flowing from below in late pregnancy? In fact, there is no need to worry, this is just a normal phenomenon caused by hormones. In the late pregnancy, expectant mothers experience increased secretions due to changes in hormone levels in the body. In addition, the high blood flow and increased tissue water in the genitals, vagina, and cervix of pregnant women also lead to increased secretions. If there is bleeding, as well as symptoms such as abdominal distension and abdominal pain, these are symptoms before delivery. What is the difference between secretions, urine leakage and amniotic fluid? 1. If the amount is not much, it is more likely to be secretions or amniotic fluid, and it cannot be urinary incontinence. Secretions and urinary incontinence are very easy to distinguish. If it is urinary incontinence, it will leak when laughing or sneezing. It is impossible that it leaks only in the morning or at night, so this basically rules out secretions or amniotic fluid. 2. The secretions in the late pregnancy are generally transparent, appear to be a thinner and more viscous liquid with a faint odor. The amount is not large and it will not flow out continuously. This is due to hormonal changes in the later stages of pregnancy, and the amount of secretions will increase as the pregnancy progresses. If you want to stay dry, use a panty liner and change your underwear every day. 3. Frequent urination increases in the late pregnancy, and sometimes expectant mothers may mistakenly think that their water has broken when they leak urine. Sometimes, because amniotic fluid and urine are very similar, expectant mothers may mistakenly think that their water breaking is just urine leakage. Therefore, if there is watery discharge from the vagina and it continues every day, you need to go to the hospital for examination, provided that the watery discharge also occurs when you are not urinating frequently. 4. If the expectant mother feels a hot current gushing out from below and the amount is particularly large, it may flow down the legs. This is definitely the amniotic fluid breaking. In this case, the expectant mother needs to lie down immediately and raise her buttocks with a pillow. At the same time, keep the head low and hips high to prevent the amniotic fluid from leaking out, and ask family members to take the baby to the hospital as soon as possible. 5. Some pregnant mothers find that their pants are wet for no reason, and they are still wet after changing several pairs of underwear. In this case, it means that the amniotic fluid has broken. |
