If the first baby breaks the amniotic fluid, will the second baby also break the amniotic fluid?

Rupture of water is a signal of impending delivery, which means that part of the amniotic fluid membrane is damaged and will mix with urine and flow out of the body. Do not wait after the amniotic fluid breaks. You need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately to prevent many complications. If you have experienced water breaking with one pregnancy, it does not guarantee that the water will break with the second pregnancy. It still depends on the physical condition.

What to do if there is too much amniotic fluid

First of all, we need to know that if the amount of amniotic fluid during pregnancy exceeds 2000ml, it is called polyhydramnios, which can be detected through B examination. Among pregnant women, the probability of occurrence is only 0.5%-1%. Polyhydramnios can be divided into acute polyhydramnios and chronic polyhydramnios. If the amount of amniotic fluid increases dramatically within a few days, it is acute polyhydramnios; if the amount of amniotic fluid increases slowly over a long period of time, it is chronic polyhydramnios. What should I do if I have too much amniotic fluid?

If a pregnant mother is diagnosed with polyhydramnios, it is recommended that you choose a large hospital for examination and treatment. The doctor will arrange a high-definition B-ultrasound to check whether the fetus has any deformities. It may also be possible to arrange for amniocentesis to see if the fetus has any genetic defects.

What does it feel like when your water breaks?

Pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy, especially those who are approaching their due date, are very worried about the amniotic fluid breaking every day. So, what does it feel like when your water breaks?

The exact feeling of your water breaking varies from person to person.

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. Generally, when the water breaks, you will feel a sudden flow of water 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.

What are the symptoms of amniotic fluid breaking?

Most expectant mothers cannot accurately judge the difference between amniotic fluid and urine or secretions. So what are the symptoms of amniotic fluid breaking?

There are many types of amniotic fluid rupture, including low-level rupture and high-level rupture. Low-level rupture of membranes: The location of rupture of membranes is low, close to the vagina, and a water-like substance will flow out of the vagina in a large amount. High rupture of membranes: The location of rupture of membranes is higher, close to the top of the uterus. This situation is more difficult to differentiate and diagnose. Usually pregnant women will feel that the vagina is wet, but the flow out is slow, which is somewhat similar to the feeling of secretions flowing out during vaginal infection.

Specifically: Smell is an important distinguishing sign. The smell of urine is strong and even pungent, while the smell of amniotic fluid is natural and even sweet. In late pregnancy, it is normal to miss a few drops of urine because the bladder is under great pressure.
