Breaking water is an important sign that a pregnant woman is about to give birth. However, if the baby in the pregnant woman's belly is not yet full-term when the water is broken, measures should be taken to protect the fetus so that it can continue to develop in the belly. So, how long can breaking water at 33 weeks of pregnancy protect the fetus? This is a question for most pregnant women with premature amniotic fluid rupture. Let's answer it below.
How long can a 33 week water breakthrough keep the tire safe
If the amniotic fluid remains normal and does not mix, the fetus can be preserved until delivery.
What should I do after breaking the water
1. When the amniotic fluid breaks, the sterile internal environment of the uterine cavity is connected to the bacterial environment outside. Bacteria may ascend along the vagina into the uterus, leading to complications such as fetal infection and umbilical cord prolapse.
2. Medical intervention should be carried out no later than 12-24 hours after amniotic fluid rupture, especially in the breech position of the fetus, where the risk of amniotic fluid rupture is much higher than in the head position. Because breech position refers to the abnormal fetal position in the uterine cavity where the fetal head is upward, there is more space for the umbilical cord to slide out of the vagina along the amniotic fluid. After the umbilical cord slides out, it is easy to be compressed, which can obstruct blood circulation and cause fetal hypoxia and death.
3. Once the amniotic fluid breaks, the correct approach is to immediately call 120; Immediately lie down in bed and place a pillow under the buttocks to raise the buttocks, keeping the buttocks high to prevent the umbilical cord from slipping. Especially for breech position fetuses and twin mothers, they should be hospitalized for observation at 38-39 weeks of pregnancy.
4. During late pregnancy, activities that increase abdominal pressure such as mopping the floor and climbing stairs should be avoided, and sexual activity should also be avoided.
There is no specific answer to the question of how long a pregnant woman can maintain her pregnancy after breaking the water at 33 weeks. It depends on the condition of the amniotic fluid in the pregnant woman's body, and the duration of pregnancy preservation varies depending on different constitutions. I hope that pregnant women who have undergone water breakthrough at 33 weeks can adjust their mentality in a timely manner and take relevant measures to cope with early water breakthrough.
