Amniotic fluid keeps leaking but no stomach pain

Rupture of amniotic fluid generally indicates that the pregnant woman is about to give birth, but there is another situation where the amniotic fluid breaks but there is no pain in the abdomen. In this case, you should seek medical attention in time and use oxytocin when necessary. In addition, pregnant women are advised to maintain an optimistic and cheerful mood, not to be nervous, and to prevent unexpected situations such as uterine infection. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Amniotic fluid keeps leaking but no stomach pain

According to the situation of water breaking, oxytocin can now be used according to the doctor's instructions, and there are no other adverse effects. Guidance: It is recommended to relax. If the water breaks for too long, it may cause uterine infection or other unexpected situations, so it is better to actively cooperate with the doctor to take measures.

Composition of amniotic fluid

The fetus develops and grows in the amniotic cavity of the uterus until birth. Amniotic fluid is the fluid in the amniotic cavity of a pregnant woman's uterus, which maintains the life and growth of the fetus. The source of amniotic fluid varies at different stages of fetal growth. In the first three months of pregnancy, the source of amniotic fluid is mainly the plasma components of the embryo, and then its source expands to the fetal urine, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, umbilical cord, etc.

The amniotic fluid of the fetus is mainly composed of 98% water and a small amount of inorganic salts, organic hormones, and fetal cells. As the weeks of pregnancy continue to increase, the weight of the amniotic fluid also increases. Normally, the normal range of amniotic fluid is "300-2000 ml". Whether it is higher or lower than this range, expectant mothers need to pay attention.

The role of amniotic fluid

Water plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining fetal life and protecting fetal health. The protection of the fetus by amniotic fluid is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. During pregnancy, alleviate the damage to the fetus caused by external pressure or impact.

2. Stabilize the fetus's growth environment, including the temperature and environment within the uterus, which helps the development of fetal organs and limbs.

3. Relieve the discomfort of pregnant women caused by the movement of the fetus in the uterus.

4. The antibacterial components in amniotic fluid can reduce the risk of fetal infection by pathogens.

5. Avoid umbilical cord prolapse.

6. During childbirth, amniotic fluid can alleviate the pressure on the fetus caused by uterine contractions.

7. After the amniotic fluid breaks, it lubricates the birth canal, which is more conducive to the smooth delivery of the fetus.
