What does it feel like when your water breaks

The physical condition of pregnant mothers is very poor in the late stage of pregnancy. Their belly is very big and it is very inconvenient to move. And when the due date is approaching, they worry every day whether the amniotic fluid will break. For first-time pregnant women, they have no idea what amniotic fluid is, what it feels like when the amniotic fluid breaks, and they don’t know what to do when the amniotic fluid breaks. The following will introduce to you what to do when the amniotic fluid of a pregnant woman breaks.

When a pregnant woman's amniotic fluid breaks, it is almost the same as urine, except that you can control it when you urinate, but you cannot control it when the amniotic fluid breaks. When a pregnant woman experiences a similar situation in the late pregnancy, she must be sent to the hospital in time, because broken amniotic fluid means that delivery is imminent.

Normal amniotic fluid and urine look similar and are very clear. If the water breaks, it will flow out uncontrollably. Amniotic fluid is colorless and odorless. When the amniotic fluid flows out, if the amount is large, it will feel warm and clear, which cannot be controlled by humans. When the amount is small, you will always feel a little wet, like urinating, but it is out of your control and is continuous.

However, vaginal secretions will increase in the later stages of pregnancy, which does not necessarily mean that water has broken. What does it feel like when your water breaks? Generally, when your water breaks, you will feel a sudden stream of water flowing out of the vagina. When the fetal head descends and blocks the cervical opening, the flow of water will decrease, but some water will still flow out as the pregnant woman moves. Therefore, it is best to go to the hospital and let the doctor check. If it is indeed water breaking, you can't wait any longer and must be hospitalized for delivery. If water breaking is not treated for a long time, it can easily cause uterine infection. Some people's water breaks before their due date.

After the water breaks, it is recommended that family members lift the pregnant woman's hips and send her to the delivery hospital as soon as possible.

Causes of amniotic fluid rupture: The pregnant woman's cervix relaxes, causing the fetal membrane to be stimulated and causing premature rupture of amniotic fluid. Hypoplasia of the fetal membrane, such as the presence of amnion-chorioamnionitis, causes excessive pressure in the amniotic cavity, leading to premature rupture of membranes.

What does it feel like when your amniotic fluid breaks? Although you have not experienced giving birth, you should have some understanding after reading the introduction above. Pregnant women must be very careful in the late stages of pregnancy. If there is liquid in the vagina that does not flow out and cannot be controlled, you must notify your family in time to send you to the hospital to avoid being alone when you give birth, which is very dangerous.
