After a woman becomes pregnant, the baby will grow and develop in the uterus, which is filled with amniotic fluid. If there is too little amniotic fluid, it is likely to cause hypoxia in the fetus. On the eve of labor, there will be a phenomenon of water rupture, during which a large amount of amniotic fluid will flow out. So, will the amniotic fluid slowly leak out?
Although most amniotic fluid is broken in large amounts, it is also possible that it leaks slowly, little by little. Moreover, amniotic fluid does not necessarily leak out only during labor, sometimes it can also leak out during mid pregnancy and late pregnancy. So pregnant women should pay attention to the condition of amniotic fluid during pregnancy.
If pregnant women find that there is a lot of vaginal discharge and it is still watery, they should be careful that there is leakage of amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid leakage usually occurs only once, so pregnant women can purchase pH test strips for testing. If you feel that your judgment is not accurate, you can also go to the hospital for examination. Doctors can observe the condition of amniotic fluid through ultrasound. In the late stages of pregnancy, if there are significant changes in amniotic fluid, it is necessary to be vigilant.
Sometimes there is a slight leakage of amniotic fluid, but the uterus can heal on its own. However, if the amniotic fluid leakage is severe, the fetus cannot stay in the uterus for a long time. This is because when the amniotic sac ruptures, it is very easy to cause intrauterine infection.
