Can a pregnancy be saved if the amniotic fluid breaks at 20 weeks?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The success rate is very low before the 24th week of pregnancy. Once the amniotic fluid breaks, the correct procedure is: immediately call 120; lie flat immediately and place a pillow under your buttocks to elevate them, maintaining a hip-raising position to prevent the umbilical cord from slipping. In particular, women with breech fetuses and twins should be hospitalized for observation between the 38th and 39th weeks of pregnancy. Additionally, avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as mopping the floor or climbing stairs, during the late stages of pregnancy, and also avoid sexual intercourse.
