What are the symptoms of amniotic fluid breaking in the second trimester?

Amniotic fluid is an essential element for the baby to survive in the mother's abdomen. If something happens to the amniotic fluid of a pregnant woman, it will have a great impact on the baby. So, some mothers will ask, what are the symptoms of amniotic fluid rupture in the second trimester of pregnancy? How can pregnant mothers prevent amniotic fluid rupture in the second trimester of pregnancy? Don't worry, let's take a look together.

Causes of water breaking

1. Some babies are in a transverse position, or the mother's pelvis is too narrow, or the mother has twins. These will increase the pressure on the mother's amniotic membrane, which will cause premature rupture of membranes.

2. The relaxation of the mother's cervix makes the fetal membrane easily irritated, which then causes the premature rupture of the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman.

3. Other reasons may also cause the mother's water to rupture in the late pregnancy. It may be that the mother did not pay enough attention to some aspects, such as coughing constantly during pregnancy, laughing suddenly, or getting angry and doing heavy work. These will cause the pressure in the mother's abdomen to increase rapidly, causing the amniotic fluid to rupture.

What are the symptoms of amniotic fluid rupture during pregnancy?

Generally speaking, there are several situations of amniotic fluid rupture, such as high-level water rupture, which means that the location of the amniotic fluid rupture is relatively high, close to the top of the uterus, and it is difficult for the mother to distinguish. However, the mother will feel that the vagina is wet and water is flowing out, and the speed is relatively slow at that time. Compared with high-position rupture of membranes, impact rupture of membranes means that the site of rupture of membranes is close to the vulva, and the amount of discharge will be relatively large.

If the mother is not afraid of whether the amniotic fluid of pregnant women is broken, she can make a basic judgment according to the following methods. The first sign of identification is the smell of urine. The smell of amniotic fluid of pregnant women is natural and not as pungent as urine. The second is that when the amniotic fluid of a pregnant woman breaks, the body cannot control the rate of discharge and the abdomen will also feel cramping and painful.

If there are only minor problems with the amniotic fluid of pregnant women, mothers should go to the hospital outpatient clinic to consult a doctor immediately. However, if there are some large ruptures in the amniotic membrane, they should go to the hospital experts to handle it properly. Usually mothers can rest more, pay attention to examination, and observe more themselves. These can help mothers better prevent the amniotic fluid from breaking.
