How old is the person this year? 27 years old. They are pregnant with their second child and are 35 weeks along. They have experienced a leak of amniotic fluid. Can the child be saved?

Patient's question:

27 years old, second child, pregnancy 353 days. This morning at 5:30, I lost amniotic fluid, but I don't have abdominal pain or a feeling of fullness. Can the doctor still save it? The baby weighs 4 pounds and 7 ounces now.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help clarify this for you. You are currently 35+3 weeks pregnant with premature rupture of membranes. If you don't have abdominal pain, the cervix is not dilating, and the ultrasound suggests there is plenty of amniotic fluid, with a good fetal heart rate. You can be hospitalized to focus on pregnancy preservation treatment and prevent work-related infections. It is important to closely and carefully monitor the fetal heart rate and amniotic fluid levels.
