The situation that amniotic fluid will suddenly flow a little and then stop flowing may be related to premature rupture of fetal membranes, high level of water breakage, urinary incontinence and other conditions. If there is a phenomenon that the amniotic fluid flows only a little bit and then stops flowing, pregnant women should go to the hospital in time for treatment.
1. Premature rupture of fetal membranes: the phenomenon of natural rupture of fetal membranes and outflow of amniotic fluid before labor, the outflow of liquid may be more or less, and the symptoms may not be obvious. However, it may cause preterm labor, umbilical cord prolapse, fetal distress, intrauterine infection, etc., which may lead to a significant increase in the infection rate of the mother and the fetus, and perinatal morbidity and mortality rate.
2. High level of water breakage: High level of water breakage is the part of the fetal membranes broken relatively high, due to the water breakage, the pressure of the uterine cavity changes, fetal prenatal exposure that is the breech position, cephalic prenatal exposure, into the pelvic angle of the lower, just to the cervix, the position of the uterine opening to block, the amniotic fluid no longer flow out.
3. Urinary incontinence: During pregnancy, due to fetal enlargement and uterine compression, some women may experience urinary incontinence, i.e., leakage of urine. At this time may be confused with amniotic fluid leakage, generally incontinence will be relieved with the end of pregnancy, postpartum recovery.
If labor does not occur after full-term pregnancy, but instead ruptures the membranes, known as full-term premature rupture of membranes, the fetus should be observed in the uterine cavity and prepared for delivery. If there is no premature rupture of membranes at full term, and the amniotic fluid breaks and flows only a little bit and then does not flow, you should consult a doctor promptly, and if necessary, you can follow the doctor’s instructions for fertility preservation treatment.
