Prenatal symptoms: After one stream of bleeding, it stops flowing. Is the water broken?
Prenatal symptoms are a concern for every expectant mother, and water breaking during labor is the most critical part. So, if the flow stops after one flow, does it mean that the water is broken? The following is a detailed introduction to prenatal symptoms from four aspects to help expectant mothers understand the relevant knowledge about water breaking and childbirth.
Aspect 1: Prenatal symptoms of uterine contractions
Before delivery, the uterus will have a certain amount of shaking and contraction, which is also reflected in the expectant mother\’s uterine pain. This contraction can be relieved by gentle massage and changing your position. The limb reaction of water breaking is much stronger than the normal contraction. Once this kind of contraction occurs, the expectant mother will become very nervous. At this time, she should tell her family members or medical staff in time and be prepared to arrive at the hospital.
Aspect 2: Prenatal symptoms of weakened fetal movement
In the third trimester of pregnancy, the fetal activity will decrease because the fetus is larger and the space for movement becomes narrower. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. Expectant mothers can adjust by changing their body position, diet and other measures. Water rupture will cause the fetus to not receive adequate support and protection in the amniotic fluid, and fetal movements will become more frequent and rapid. Once this situation is discovered, expectant mothers should seek medical treatment in time.
Aspect 3: Abdominal pain on top of prenatal symptoms
Along with painful uterine contractions, expectant mothers may also feel upper abdominal pain. This may be because the pregnant woman\’s uterus contracts too frequently, compressing the gastrointestinal and other organs, causing upper abdominal pain. The upper abdominal pain caused by water rupture is caused by the downward pressure of the fetus\’ head, which increases the internal force of the uterine wall, causing uterine contraction pain.
Aspect 4: Changes in vaginal secretions of prenatal symptoms
The vaginal secretions that pregnant women continuously secrete in the third trimester of pregnancy are a factor that induces infection. After the water breaks, the vaginal secretions of expectant mothers will turn into amniotic fluid, which can easily cause bacterial infections. If you notice significant changes in vaginal discharge, you need to seek medical attention immediately.
Summary
Before giving birth, expectant mothers need to pay close attention to the changes in their body, understand the prenatal symptoms, and avoid being too nervous. Once symptoms of suspected water rupture are discovered, family members or medical staff should be notified promptly and medical preparations should be made. Childbirth is a very important and dangerous process. Expectant mothers need a high degree of vigilance and protection to allow themselves and their fetuses to survive this process safely.
