Pregnant women with sudden water breakthrough are a sign of labor, and they are about to give birth. At this time, it is necessary to make sufficient preparations for childbirth. However, many people do not know about it before, so they did not make corresponding preparations. So, what are the reactions of pregnant women after breaking water?
Pregnant women may experience the following symptoms after water breakthrough:
1. Regular uterine contractions: Uterine contractions begin irregularly and gradually transition to regular contractions, with increasing strength. As the labor progresses, the duration of contractions can last up to 1 minute, and the interval can be shortened to 1-2 minutes.
2. Water rupture: Sudden discharge of clear fluid from the vagina, sometimes containing fetal fat or meconium, is called "rupture of membranes". Water breakthrough usually occurs after the onset of regular contractions and before the delivery of the fetus. Pregnant women with ruptured water should immediately go to the hospital to prevent umbilical cord prolapse from endangering the fetus. Usually, natural labor will occur within 24 hours after ruptured water.
3. Seeing redness: A small amount of bloody mucus is discharged through the vagina before delivery, which is called "seeing redness". Seeing redness is a reliable sign that childbirth is about to begin. If there is a lot of bleeding or fresh blood, it is also necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
4. Increased frequency of urination: More than ten days before labor, the exposed part of the fetus descends into the pelvis, and the uterine floor also descends accordingly. Due to compression of the bladder, the bladder's urine storage capacity decreases, and the frequency of urination increases.
5. Fetal descent sensation: As the fetal head descends to the pelvis and the uterine floor descends, most pregnant women feel more comfortable in the upper abdomen, increase food intake, and breathe lightly.
