Amniotic fluid is the environment in which babies live before they are born, and it is also the place where babies play. Everyone knows that the amniotic fluid will rupture near the time of delivery. However, some pregnant women who are pregnant for the first time do not know the feeling and treatment of amniotic fluid rupture. So, what if the amniotic fluid breaks in the middle of the night? Let's learn about it together.
After a pregnant woman discovers that her amniotic fluid has ruptured, she should maintain a flat position and then place a pillow under her buttocks to raise them, which can effectively prevent umbilical cord prolapse in pregnant women. After completing the above points, you should immediately call the hospital, and the doctor will handle the situation according to the pregnant woman's condition.
If the amniotic fluid flow of pregnant women is relatively low, they can use sanitary pads first; If there is a lot of amniotic fluid, a moisture absorbing towel can be placed under the external genital opening. However, it should be noted that pregnant women are absolutely not allowed to take showers at this time. In addition, pregnant women should not be too nervous, otherwise they may make mistakes such as standing. Standing up can cause the amniotic fluid in pregnant women to flow out faster, which can lead to fetal distress and potentially result in fetal asphyxia.
Under normal circumstances, pregnant women will give birth within 24 hours after the amniotic fluid breaks. If the amniotic fluid breaks and there are no signs of delivery, it indicates that the baby is already one month old, and the hospital may take measures to promote childbirth.
