At 29 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus has entered the late stage of pregnancy, but at this time, the fetal development is not yet mature. If there are signs of labor at this time, it is necessary to give timely treatment to protect the fetus. Premature rupture of amniotic fluid is a relatively obvious sign of premature birth, and it is quite dangerous to have this situation at 29 weeks of pregnancy. So, how to protect the fetus when amniotic fluid ruptures at 29 weeks of pregnancy?
At 29 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal development has basically matured, but this is not the best time for delivery. If amniotic fluid breaks, it is necessary to immediately lie down in bed and raise the buttocks to maintain this state to prevent umbilical cord slippage. At the same time, it is necessary to seek medical attention immediately and actively undergo fetal protection treatment.
After the amniotic fluid breaks, the sterile environment of the uterus creates a channel for contact with the outside world, and bacteria can travel up the vagina to the uterus, which can easily cause fetal infection. Therefore, timely medical treatment should be sought within 24 hours after amniotic fluid rupture to prevent serious consequences.
If it is only a small incision, try to maintain a high hip position for treatment and use medication to protect the fetus under the guidance of a doctor. Usually, delivery is delayed until around 34 weeks of pregnancy, and the survival rate of the fetus will be greatly improved. If it is a large rupture, it is necessary to extend the gestational age as much as possible under medical treatment to promote fetal development and prevent intrauterine infection.
The harm of premature rupture of amniotic fluid is extremely high. In order to effectively prevent this situation, pregnant women should strengthen prenatal check ups, especially those who have a history of premature birth, miscarriage, or are pregnant with twin pregnancies.
