Feature and diagnostics
Amniotic fluid not only feeds the baby, but also protects the fetus from infection and, reducing the pressure on the walls of the uterus, makes the child to wear the baby to the pregnant woman easier. Along with the child, the number of accumulating waters is growing, and if the walls of the bubble are thinned and microcracks appear on them, then the liquid can flow. The danger of this pathology is that it is easy to confuse with incontinence of urine or abundant discharge, especially early. In the first trimester, not every doctor manages to notice the symptoms of water leakage. And, unfortunately, if such pathology happened in the first weeks and was not stopped on time, a woman in 90% of cases do abortion. In the last weeks of pregnancy, it is almost impossible to see the water. The future mother is poured at the same time until the alley of the liquid, which has «characteristic» smell. Following the expulsion of waters, contractions are usually beginning.
In order to notice the problem on time, it is necessary to wear only bright underwear of cotton and use daily white pads. On them a wet spot will noticeably. In the early deadlines, the liquid will not have any color, no smell. If you have noticed such a speck, MPsovtsov recommends not to think for a long time, call ambulance and go to the doctor. Let it be better to be a false anxiety than lost time. Gynecologist must necessarily take a smear from the vagina for the presence of ammunition. There are special nitrazine tests that will help determine at home to leakage water during pregnancy. The test will show the alkaline balance of the vagina, in the normal state, the acid medium is dominated there, and if the water is poured, the medium will become neutral, because the water themselves alone.
The doctor will also take a smear on microscopy that determines whether the crystalline liquid can be in the uterus. You will also make urine analysis for the presence of microglobulline-1 and protein-1, which are contained only in oily water.
And the test, and smear do not always show a real picture of cases, the time that has passed since the bubble break, and the reaction to urine and sperm. More accurate results give tests.
Causes of Water Benefits during pregnancy
Pregnant women, especially if this is their first child, it is difficult to understand when it is starting to leak water. Here are a few signs that should alert:
- if ordinary daily releases of steel are abundant and watery;
- If when changing the position of the body, especially in a vertical position, the selection becomes greater;
- If visually the size of the belly has become less, and the height of the uterus sank.
In all these cases, you need to urgently consult a doctor to eliminate the rupture of the fruit bubble.
Water leakage during pregnancy increases baby mortality 4 times. Of all the complications to which this pathology, the fetus and respiratory distress syndrome are most often found.
Foot infection and mother itself - most frequent complications. It may arise regardless of what time the fetus bubble breaks on. It develops from 6 to 32 hours after the influence of the accumulate waters and sometimes the consequences are so serious that the child can be saved, and the mother has to do the operation.
In premature children, the development of respiratory distress syndrome is the most severe complication. These children do not have time to develop and glue from the inside, the air does not circulate and the baby cannot breathe independently. These children prescribe surfactant injections and make artificial ventilation of the lungs.
Treatment of pathology
If we talk about the treatment of such a problem as the leakage of spindle water, then some therapy can not be distinguished and prescribed certain medications. Treatment of this problem, rather, is to relieve the pathology and maximum containment. And to eliminate the problem completely fails. A very important role is played by how much time has passed since the water began to leak, and the patient appealed to the medical insurance. If an anhydrous period continued to 6 hours, then the woman will prescribe antibiotics that will not be given to develop the fetus infection.
If the water leakage began on a large period, most likely it was time to give birth. If the fights themselves do not start three hours after the fluid is influenced, the doctor will appoint stimulation. Very often spend unscheduled cesarean section. But it's all if the term of pregnancy reached 36 weeks.
If pregnancy is premature, the doctor will choose the expectant tactics, every day that the child will be able to spend in the womb - this is his chance for survival and birth without pathologies. At this time, the woman is in the hospital, under the tireless observation of doctors. It is prescribed a bed mode, introduced Antibiotics and drugs that are aimed at ripening the lungs in the child, as well as medicines that do not give the uterus to shrink. If the state of the mother and the fetus cause concerns, there is an emergency delivery.
To prevent problems, it is necessary to carry out the treatment of genital paths by antiseptic drugs, so you can destroy the infection. Any pregnant woman should clearly understand that she herself can cope with such a problem as the leakage of water will not be able. Therefore, it is necessary to urgently contact the doctor and do not be ashamed to ask him about everything that so worries, and ask for analyzes, if for some reason you do not appoint them. Child health for the most part always depends on mom.
