Young amniotic rupture is a dangerous pregnancy complications that mothers may experience during pregnancy, especially in the last 3 months of pregnancy. Two of the possible consequences of rupture of premature amniotic fluid are premature birth and amniotic infection. Pregnant women need to equip themselves with knowledge about the signs of rupture of the amniotic fluid in order to be able to detect and handle in a timely manner, avoiding unfortunate consequences.

1. What is a young amniotic rupture?

Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is the phenomenon of the amniotic membrane breaking before the oncage of labor. If after an hour of amniotic rupture there are still no signs of labor, it can be called a young amniotic rupture.

According to statistics, about 8% – 10% of pregnant women experience premature amniotic rupture, accounting for 1⁄4 of the causes that lead to premature birth.

2. How dangerous is the rupture of young amniotic fluid?

Amniotic fluid begins to form around the 12th day after conception. The fetus is located in the uterus and is surrounded by amniotic fluid. This is a nutrient-containing environment, it has the ability to regenerate and exchange, playing a decisive role in the survival and development of the fetus. In addition, the amniotic sac also functions as a cushion that protects the fetus from collisions and traumas, ensuring a eptic environment for the child to develop. When the pregnant woman enters labor, the amniotic membrane breaks off, the greasiness of the amniotic fluid has the function of lubricating the mother's genitals to make the fetus more susceptible to birth.

Because the amniotic sac plays a very important role, the rupture of the amniotic fluid when the fetus is not yet weeks old can have consequences of varying degrees, depending on the maturity of the fetus. The most common are:

  • Infection caused by rupture of the young amniotic fluid

The environment in the amniotic sac is inherently a eptic environment, which protects the fetus from bacterial penetration. When the amniotic membrane breaks and the amniotic fluid leaks outside, this protective barrier also loses its effect. At this time, bacteria from the outside can enter the amniotic sac and cause damage to the fetus, leading to infections such as amniotic infections, newborn infections or post-production infections.

Amniotic infection occurs when the fetus is not stable, which can lead to umbilical cord prolapse, and there are even cases of complications that lead to umbilical cord loss that prevents the fetus from obtaining nutrition and oxygen. In addition, when the fetus is infected, there is a high risk of respiratory failure at birth.

If there is the presence of bacteria that cause lower genital tract infections such as Neisseria gonorrhea, group B sysuosis,…. then the risk of infection with the uterus will increase.

  • Premature birth

When a rupture of the young amniotic fluid occurs with infections and complications, doctors will prescribe a caesarean section for the pregnancy. If a child is born under the age of 37 weeks, there are often long-term health risks such as respiratory illnesses, visual illnesses, or infections. In cases where the child is born before the 24th week of pregnancy, there is usually not much chance to survive. In addition, if a rupture of the amniotic fluid leads to early labor, premature babies will also face the same risks because at this time the functions in the child's body are not really complete.

3. In what cases does a young amniotic rupture occur?

Pregnancy cases where a young amniotic fluid may experience rupture are:

  • Each other striker

The forward placenta is a placenta phenomenon located at the lowest position of the uterus, at which point the cake will cover part or all of the cervical. The most common symptom of each other is abnormal vaginal bleeding. This is one of the causes of rupture of the young amniotic fluid for the pregnant woman.

  • Multiple amniotic fluid, multiple pregnancies

Multiple amniotic fluid is an increase in amniotic fluid to the point of excess. Usually, diagnosed when the amount of amniotic fluid increases to 2000ml or more. As the amount of amniotic fluid increases rapidly, the pregnant woman will feel increasingly heavy and uncomfortable. The earlier multiple amniotic fluid appears and the more amniotic fluid, the more dangerous the complications. When the amount of amniotic fluid in the uterus is too high, it leads to the rupture of the young amniotic fluid.

Multiple pregnancies are the phenomenon of pregnant women having more than one fetus in the uterus at the same pregnancy. Most often, multi-pregnancy is the happiness of many mothers. However, multi-pregnancy pregnancies need to be careful because the incidence of pregnancy complications will be higher than in other normal pregnancies. Among them, rupture of the amniotic fluid leading to premature birth is a common condition. According to statistics, more than 50% of twins have to give birth prematurely, and almost all triplet births experience the same condition.

  • Cleft palathy of the uterus

Usually, the waist and cervical part will be closed, it only opens when menstruation is intended to help menstruation escape. During pregnancy the waist of the uterus and cervical will always be closed, only during labor does the cervical phenomenon open to let the baby and other parts of the pregnancy go out.

Cleft palam of the uterus is an open cervical condition during pregnancy, before labor. At pregnancy over 16 weeks of age, the pressure in the amniotic sac increases, which acts on the cervical opening gradually, which leads to rupture of the young amniotic fluid. As a result, miscarriage or premature birth.

  • Abnormal pregnancy

The fetus is understood to be the position of the fetus compared to the mother's cervical. Usually, the first pregnancy (or favorable pregnancy) is considered the most favorable pregnancy for childbirth. The first pregnancy means that the baby's head will face the, the baby's buttocks facing the mother's chest. At birth, the baby's head will come out first, the child's limbs go backwards.

In addition to the first crown, there is also the buttocks (or inverted throne) and the horizontal throne. These are abnormal pregnancies, which pose a lot of danger to both mother and baby. Pregnant women with abnormal pregnancies should regularly monitor the condition of the fetus, resting in the last tri month of pregnancy to avoid premature or dangerous premature amniotic rupture.

4. Signs of rupture of the young amniotic fluid

When the young amnioticfluid is ruptured, the mothers will have the following signs:

  • There is abnormal discharge in the vagina, especially when using tam tamer still sees a wet white discharge, fishy smell.
  • When the amniotic sac ruptures, the pregnant woman can feel the sound of the "podium" and the amniotic fluid begins to spill from the closed area, in some cases the amniotic fluid will leak little by little, so many people do not distinguish this sign from urination.

Mothers should pay attention to monitor the changes of the body in the last tri month of pregnancy to promptly detect and handle if the phenomenon of rupture of the young amniotic fluid occurs.
