Without the protection of amniotic fluid, the fetus cannot develop healthily. If amniotic fluid ruptures, the fetus's situation will be very dangerous. But there are always some pregnant women who, due to lack of safety or other reasons, cause their amniotic fluid to rupture. So, let's learn about what to do if the amniotic fluid ruptures slightly?
If a pregnant woman experiences mild amniotic fluid rupture before the day of delivery, it is necessary to go to the hospital in a timely manner for fetal protection. Generally, there is a possibility of healing for amniotic fluid rupture in mid pregnancy. Pregnant women should not think that if the amniotic fluid ruptures, there is no need to save the pregnancy. Instead, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible and listen to the doctor's advice. If the doctor says that the fetus can be preserved, then treatment should be carried out according to the doctor's advice.
During the period of fetal protection treatment, pregnant women should also pay attention to observing changes in their amniotic fluid to avoid not being able to detect uterine infections in a timely manner. If the amniotic fluid flowing out of the vagina has a foul odor or if the characteristics of the amniotic fluid have changed, it may be an infection. At this point, it is important to inform the doctor promptly and terminate the pregnancy if necessary. Otherwise, it will pose a threat to the life safety of pregnant women and also threaten the health of the fetus.
But if a pregnant woman experiences mild amniotic fluid rupture near the due date, it implies that the baby is about to be born. At this time, pregnant women should not panic or be nervous. They should promptly pack their delivery bags and rush to the hospital for delivery.
