If you have a certain understanding of pregnancy knowledge, I believe you will know that there are generally three obvious symptoms that pregnant women will experience before giving birth, which are redness, uterine contractions, and rupture of water. If we follow the normal order, we will first see redness, then contractions, and finally burst water. But due to differences in everyone's physical constitution, not everyone will give birth in this order. So, is it necessary to give birth when the amniotic fluid breaks during pregnancy?
A ruptured amniotic fluid indicates that the child is about to be born. In most cases, the baby will be born immediately after the amniotic fluid breaks, but some people may not. If there is no abdominal pain when the amniotic fluid breaks, the baby may still be born after some time. However, it is also recommended that pregnant women do not stand up at this time. It is best to lie down immediately and go to the hospital in a timely manner to avoid fetal hypoxia.
In most cases, uterine contractions occur before the amniotic fluid ruptures. At this time, you will feel the amniotic fluid flowing out, and soon there will be labor pains. After that, the cervix will open, and delivery will usually occur when the cervix is about -10 centimeters wide. However, sometimes if the amniotic fluid breaks at night, the mother may not feel contractions and break the amniotic fluid first.
If the amniotic fluid ruptures and the amount is sufficient and clear, the fetus can hold on until birth. If the amniotic fluid is cloudy and scarce, it indicates that the fetus may experience hypoxia and requires immediate surgery. However, it is still recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible, and if there are any problems, the doctor can handle them in a timely manner.
