Amniotic fluid is an important substance provided to the baby's living environment during pregnancy. Once there is a problem with amniotic fluid, it can easily pose a threat to the baby's life. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the condition of amniotic fluid during pregnancy. However, many pregnant women do not know how to check their amniotic fluid. Below, we will use the doctor's method of checking for amniotic fluid rupture as a reference for pregnant women.
The color of amniotic fluid looks relatively clear, and if a pregnant woman breaks the amniotic fluid, it will flow out uncontrollably. Amniotic fluid is colorless and odorless. When amniotic fluid flows out, if the amount is large, there will be a warm feeling and it will be relatively clear, which cannot be controlled artificially. When the amount is small, I always feel a bit wet, like urinating, but I am not under my control and it is persistent.
If amniotic fluid rupture occurs without regular uterine contractions or vaginal redness, which means the membranes rupture before delivery, this condition is called premature rupture of amniotic fluid and is a common complication in obstetrics.
When premature rupture of amniotic fluid occurs, many times postpartum women often think that they have wet their underwear with urine and do not know that it is premature rupture of amniotic fluid. However, it is very important to determine premature rupture of amniotic fluid as soon as possible, which can prevent bacteria from ascending through the vagina to infect the fetus and avoid complications such as umbilical cord prolapse.
Once premature rupture of amniotic fluid occurs, do not panic too much. To prevent fetal umbilical cord prolapse, one should immediately lie down and elevate the hips. Place a clean sanitary pad on the external genitalia, pay attention to keeping it clean, and do not take a bath again.
The above is a detailed description of the amniotic fluid problems in pregnant women and how doctors can check for ruptured amniotic fluid. We hope that pregnant women can read it carefully and compare their own amniotic fluid conditions carefully according to the doctor's examination methods in case of emergency. Once premature rupture of amniotic fluid or other abnormalities occur, timely treatment measures must be taken.
