Pregnant women are likely to experience amniotic fluid rupture and leakage in the later stages of pregnancy, which indicates that the baby is eager to come out. However, if amniotic fluid leakage occurs in the middle of pregnancy, it is a bad phenomenon. So, what are the symptoms of amniotic fluid leakage at 20 weeks of pregnancy?
What are the symptoms of amniotic fluid leakage at 20 weeks of pregnancy
When fluid suddenly flows out of the drainage channel at 20 weeks of pregnancy, it is important to be vigilant. This situation is often uncontrollable, indicating the possibility of amniotic fluid leakage. The leakage of amniotic fluid at 20 weeks of pregnancy is mostly caused by premature rupture of the membranes. If not taken seriously, it may lead to fetal death or miscarriage in the uterus, so it must be taken seriously at this time.
What to do if amniotic fluid ruptures
Under normal circumstances, amniotic fluid rupture is rare in the early and middle stages of pregnancy, but it cannot be ruled out that there may be individual factors such as external factors. If amniotic fluid ruptures early before 28 weeks of pregnancy, it is difficult to preserve the fetus. If the gestational age is between 28-32 weeks, it is possible to try to preserve the fetus. At this time, some drugs can be used to prevent uterine contractions and promote fetal maturity, helping the fetus stay in the mother's womb for as long as possible.
If there is a rupture of amniotic fluid at 35 weeks of pregnancy, because the fetus is almost mature at this time, delivery can be carried out after the amniotic fluid ruptures. After the baby is born, the use of the incubator can be determined based on the baby's condition.
