When your water breaks, you will usually give birth to your baby in about 24 hours, longer for the first child and shorter for the second. When your water breaks, contractions are usually induced naturally, and most of you will experience abdominal pain in about 2 hours, while some of you may experience contractions for a longer period of time. However, if the contractions do not start naturally for more than 12 hours, oxytocin is needed to induce contractions. This is because if your water breaks and you can’t deliver naturally for a long time, you may get an infection in the uterine cavity. Moreover, when the amniotic fluid breaks, the amniotic fluid will flow out involuntarily, and the amount of amniotic fluid will gradually decrease, and the fetus may suffer from hypoxia when the amniotic fluid is too low. Once amniotic fluid rupture occurs, you need to lie down immediately, elevate the buttocks, you can put a pillow on the buttocks to slow down the speed of amniotic fluid outflow, and you can also prevent the umbilical cord prolapse from occurring. In the case of breech combined with premature rupture of amniotic fluid, a cesarean section is usually required to terminate the pregnancy.
