Breaking the water first during production is more dangerous, usually it will be better to see redness or uterine contractions first. First break the water, quickly lie down and raise your buttocks, otherwise too much amniotic fluid may cause the baby to suffocate. So, is breaking the water first easy to cause amniotic fluid embolism?
Breaking the water first is more likely to trigger amniotic fluid embolism. Some women give birth to their second child quickly and urgently, hence it is called emergency delivery. For example, if it takes only 3 hours or less from the start of contractions to delivery, there is a risk of amniotic fluid embolism. In addition, if the water breaks before delivery, there may be placenta previa, placental abruption, or during cesarean section, the lower part of the uterus must be cut open before the child can be removed, which may also trigger amniotic fluid embolism.
In theory, older mothers (with their first child over 35 years old) and multiparous women are more likely to experience amniotic fluid embolism. Because after multiple childbirths, the uterus is relatively fragile and more likely to be damaged; Some women may experience excessive emotional tension during childbirth, or use medication that causes strong uterine contractions, which can also lead to amniotic fluid embolism.
Amniotic fluid embolism is caused by amniotic fluid entering blood vessels. This process can occur at any stage of labor after water breakthrough, especially in cases of difficult labor caused by vaginal delivery and fetal overgrowth. The surgical midwifery process is related to whether the amniotic fluid has been fully aspirated and released.
