What should I do if a pregnant woman has amniotic fluid?

When the delivery is approaching, the pregnant woman will first experience amniotic fluid breaking, which means that the pregnant woman is about to give birth. At this time, there is no need to worry too much. Lie down flat and observe the amount of amniotic fluid flowing out. Also, keep the vulva clean. In addition, you should be alert to the situation of amniotic fluid leakage that does not occur during labor. You should go to the hospital in time at this time, as it may be a sign of miscarriage.

What should I do if a pregnant woman has amniotic fluid?

1. First of all, pregnant mothers should not be nervous. They should lie down with the help of their family and relax.

2. Ask your family to observe the outflow of amniotic fluid. If the amount of amniotic fluid outflows is large, you should immediately put a pillow under your buttocks after lying down, and try to keep your head low and your buttocks high to prevent umbilical cord prolapse.

3. To keep the vulva clean and reduce infection, you can use a clean sanitary napkin prepared in advance to pad it. If the amount is large, you can use a clean bath towel or towel to pad under the buttocks.

4. As long as water breaks, regardless of whether the mother has reached the due date or has uterine contractions, she must rush to the hospital immediately for treatment. Even on the way to the hospital, she needs to lie down with her hips elevated.

Kind tips

If a pregnant woman is alone at home, call 120 immediately, lie flat on the bed immediately, and place a pillow under her buttocks to lift her buttocks. Keep her buttocks high to prevent the umbilical cord from slipping, especially for women with breech presentation or twins. They should be hospitalized for observation at 38-39 weeks of pregnancy.

In addition, in the late pregnancy, avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as mopping the floor and climbing stairs, and avoid sexual intercourse.

Excessive loss of amniotic fluid will affect the fetus's breathing, which is very dangerous. Expectant mothers must be careful.

Will the amniotic fluid dry up? First of all, the amniotic fluid will not dry up. At full term, the total amount of amniotic fluid is about 500-1000 ml. The fetus lives in the amniotic fluid and is surrounded by the amniotic membrane, which is the relationship between "fish" and "water". When there is regular abdominal pain, the pressure in the uterine cavity increases and the pressure in the anterior amniotic sac also increases, and rupture of the fetal membrane may occur. At this time, the amount of amniotic fluid that flows out is a small amount of anterior amniotic fluid. As the uterine contractions intensify, the presenting part descends, and the presenting part presses against the internal os of the cervix, the outflow of amniotic fluid gradually decreases. Moreover, amniotic fluid continues to be produced until the cervix is ​​fully dilated, at which time there is still enough amniotic fluid in the uterine cavity to meet the needs of the fetus. Too little amniotic fluid may cause the baby to lack of oxygen or develop incompletely, which can have serious consequences. It is recommended that you seek early treatment to find out the cause of oligohydramnios. It can be said that amniotic fluid is the child's protective umbrella, and less is definitely not good!
