Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 28 years old, nearing her due date, feeling a bit anxious. She asks the doctor if the water she lost at 39 weeks is her water breaking.Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, being pregnant for 37 weeks is considered full term, and being pregnant for 40 weeks is the due date. Based on your current situation, you are now in the 39th week, and you have again experienced symptoms of vaginal discharge. This could be a sign that the fetal membranes have ruptured prematurely. If the amount of vaginal discharge is relatively small, it indicates that the rupture site is small. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant prenatal examinations and prepare for delivery in advance.
