Does a normal pregnant woman have an amniotic membrane?

When a woman is pregnant, amniotic fluid will be produced directly in her belly when the baby reaches a certain age. Amniotic fluid is an important liquid that promotes the healthy development of the baby. In order to prevent the amniotic fluid from flowing out, there is usually an amniotic membrane outside the female body. When the amniotic membrane ruptures and the amniotic fluid flows out, it proves that the woman is about to give birth. But if the amniotic membrane ruptures prematurely, it will shrink back to form an amniotic band. Do normal women have an amniotic band?

The main reason for the appearance of amniotic bands is the premature rupture of the amniotic fluid. Too much or too little amniotic fluid will actually affect the survival of the fetus. If amniotic bands appear during pregnancy, the amount of amniotic fluid is normal. No special treatment is needed at this time, but pregnant women with amniotic bands must go to the hospital for regular prenatal check-ups. If the amount of amniotic fluid is abnormal, measures must be taken to treat it.

Why is there an amniotic band?

1. External factors theory

In the early stages of pregnancy, the amniotic membrane ruptures for unknown reasons, but the chorion is intact. At this time, the amniotic fluid will reach the chorionic cavity through the ruptured amniotic membrane. Because the chorion has good permeability, the amniotic fluid will extravasate and the chorionic tissue will have the ability to proliferate and infiltrate. After coming into contact with various tissues of the fetus, deformities will occur in the corresponding parts.

2. Theory of internal factors

Although there is a direct relationship between amniotic band syndrome and the amniotic band, we have not yet found direct evidence that the amniotic band causes amputation or deformity. Therefore, some people believe that the main cause of this disease is the abnormality of genetic material, that is, the genetic material deficiency theory.

Treatment of amniotic band

First of all, everyone should let nature take its course. The condition will recover on its own after delivery, and it will not have much impact on the newborn. We do not need to deal with it during pregnancy and will deal with it after full-term delivery.

1. Let nature take its course and recover on your own after delivery. It is mainly aimed at milder deformities that have little impact on the fetus and newborn.

2. No treatment is given during pregnancy, and treatment is only given after full-term delivery. Intrauterine treatment is currently widely used. We mainly use amniotic band adhesion lysis, which can achieve good clinical results.

In fact, there are not many pregnant women with wool bands, and the incidence of this disease is not that high, so pregnant friends should not worry too much. If there is such a situation, you can also do a good job of observation first, because sometimes it does not affect the development of the embryo, and we can wait until the baby is born before dealing with it. And we must treat it during pregnancy, and the current treatment surgery for amniotic band adhesion is very mature.
