Many people think that if their amniotic fluid ruptures, they can give birth within a few days, but that's not the case. Some pregnant women stay in the hospital for more than 20 days, but in the end, they still give birth to a baby by administering oxytocin. Premature rupture of membranes, in addition to the inconvenience of daily life for pregnant women, also requires close attention to whether the fetus will experience hypoxia. So, can premature rupture of membranes result in vaginal delivery?
Firstly, if the pregnant mother has uterine contractions, the fetus does not have an umbilical cord around the neck, and the mother's birth canal is particularly normal, vaginal delivery can be performed. But if the pregnant mother does not have contractions, the possibility of vaginal delivery is very small. It is recommended that once premature rupture of membranes is detected, it is necessary to rest in bed or immediately go to a regular hospital obstetrics department to listen to the doctor's advice and prepare for delivery.
Secondly, premature rupture of membranes refers to the natural rupture of the mother's membranes before the due date. Under normal circumstances, premature rupture of membranes occurs when pregnancy is less than 37 weeks. Premature rupture of membranes is a particularly common complication that can have adverse effects on pregnant mothers and their fetuses. Premature rupture of membranes can lead to premature birth of the fetus and poor ability to adapt to the external environment. The causes of premature rupture of membranes include injury or underdeveloped membranes.
Finally, there is one more thing to note, which is that if a pregnant mother suspects premature rupture of the membranes, she must not undergo any vaginal examination, as this will only worsen the condition of membrane rupture and lead to infection, making the situation even more serious. The most correct approach at this point is to use a test strip. If the pH test strip turns blue, it can be determined as premature rupture of the membranes.
