The amniotic membrane is the fetal membrane, which protects the healthy development of the fetus in the stomach. So, is it necessary to give birth if the amniotic membrane ruptures? Why does it cause rupture of the sheep's capsule membrane? Expectant mothers during pregnancy must pay special attention to issues related to the sheep's capsule.
The rupture of the sheep's capsule does not necessarily mean that the mother is about to give birth. When the sheep's capsule ruptures, doctors need to weigh the interests of both the mother and the fetus, considering the specific impact of the current gestational age on both the mother and the fetus, in order to determine whether the pregnant mother should let the baby be born.
Generally speaking, if it is a full-term premature rupture of membranes, the fetus has already matured. However, if the amniotic membrane ruptures, it increases the risk of developing chorioamnionitis. Therefore, doctors generally recommend that pregnant women terminate the pregnancy early. So, the occurrence of full-term premature rupture of membranes is usually a signal of the mother's labor, and if there are no signs of labor after 2 hours of rupture, the mother should be immediately assisted in inducing uterine contractions and induced labor.
If premature rupture of membranes occurs in preterm infants, it is necessary to fully consider the gestational age of the mother, the condition of the mother and fetus, as well as the treatment level of the local hospital for premature infants. Moreover, the gestational age is the key to addressing the issue. If the gestational age is too small, even with advanced hospital technology, it is also difficult to treat conservatively and give the fetus a chance of survival. However, it is worth mentioning that if premature rupture of membranes occurs at nearly 34 weeks of pregnancy, conservative treatment can be used to protect the fetus. After the fetus matures, the appropriate time to terminate the pregnancy can be considered.
