Patient's question:
I am 4 months pregnant. On Saturday night, I jumped rope twice, and around 8 PM, I noticed some water coming out. On Sunday afternoon at 2 PM, I had a BC check, and the results were good. The baby is doing well, and the amniotic fluid is also good. The attending doctor asked me to be hospitalized for observation. Since my home is very close to the hospital, I went home to observe instead. The doctor told me to go to the hospital immediately if I notice any more water leakage. However, so far, no more water has come out. I would like to ask if this means that the baby is no longer in danger? On Saturday night, a lot of water came out, similar to urination.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it is still recommended to be hospitalized for observation and treatment. If there is too little amniotic fluid, it can lead to fetal hypoxia and asphyxiation, which may result in death. Therefore, it's difficult to say for now, but hospitalization is a better approach. Generally, doctors will advise women with risk signs during prenatal examinations to rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
