Can a baby be saved if the water breaks at 26 weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 28 years old, a friend of mine. She has been relatively frail since childhood. At 26 weeks of pregnancy, she suddenly broke water. However, she really wanted to save the baby, so she wanted to know if it's possible to save the baby at 26 weeks of pregnancy when the water breaks.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the situation you mentioned should be considered as a threatened miscarriage, primarily characterized by abdominal pain and a very small amount of vaginal bleeding, with blood clots possibly discharged in severe cases. It is recommended to undergo treatment to preserve the pregnancy, while maintaining absolute bed rest. A follow-up check-up is advised after one week. It is also recommended to adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle, ensuring a balanced and well-composed diet, regular sleep patterns, and maintaining a positive mindset to prevent excessive stress. Appropriate exercise and long-term adherence can help stabilize your constitution and gradually significantly improve your immune system, reducing the recurrence of discomfort.
