Why do I have to wash my hair when my water breaks?

It is not recommended to wash your hair immediately after your water breaks, and it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to monitor the condition of the fetus. If amniotic fluid breaks in late pregnancy, hair washing is not recommended. Whether you wash your hair standing up or sitting down, it may accelerate the outflow of amniotic fluid, causing the amount of amniotic fluid in the uterus to drop, leading to hypoxia, umbilical cord prolapse and other hazards for the fetus. In this case, it is recommended to call 120 immediately or go to the hospital on your own. Try to stay in a relaxed and lying down position during transportation to the hospital, and avoid standing up and moving around. For premature rupture of amniotic fluid that is not in labor, keep lying down after admission to the hospital, and elevate the buttocks if necessary. At the same time, it is necessary to monitor the fetus, and in case of serious complications such as intrauterine distress, cesarean section may be needed for intervention. For amniotic fluid rupture that has already entered the labor process, it is necessary to check the fetal pelvic status, etc. If the amniotic fluid stops flowing during the process, appropriate activities can be done to accelerate the labor process. In the event of amniotic fluid rupture, immediate medical attention is required.
