How to treat premature rupture of amniotic fluid in twins

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

First, pregnant women should not panic. They should lie quietly in bed, place a pillow under their buttocks, raise their hips, and try to maintain a head-down, hip-up position. The purpose of this is to prevent umbilical cord prolapse, especially for women carrying breech babies or twins, who should pay particular attention.
Second, if the amniotic fluid breaks early, it means that labor is approaching. You should go to the hospital immediately to be admitted for labor. After admission, the doctor will provide appropriate treatment based on the specific condition of the pregnant woman. Generally, labor will begin within 24 hours after the membranes rupture. If there are no signs of labor after 24 hours, it is important to monitor the fetal and maternal heart rates, body temperature, and white blood cell count, and use antibiotics promptly to prevent infection. For women with a gestational age of over 36 weeks who have not gone into labor after 24 hours, active induction of labor should be initiated.
