If you need to induce labor, you need to use artificial water breaking, but it is not recommended, because artificial water breaking violates the laws of nature and may cause certain harm to women's health. Under what circumstances can artificial water be broken?

Under what circumstances can artificial water be broken? Artificial water can be used to activate production or accelerate delivery. Generally speaking, when the cervix is full, the spontaneous rupture of fetal membranes caused by severe labor pains is called natural water breakthrough; If the fetal membrane is too tough, it may not rupture spontaneously. At this time, it is necessary to use tweezers or hemostatic forceps to break the fetal membrane artificially and let the sheep flow out. This is artificial water breaking.

Once the water is broken, the fetal head or exposed part will cling to the cervix, which can help the cervix to expand and stimulate the uterus to contract.

Medical staff will check the color and concentration of amniotic fluid to assess whether the fetus is in good condition. If you want to use the internal monitor for inspection, you must first break the amniotic fluid bag before you can do it. If the fetal membrane is not broken, the outflow of amniotic fluid will be delayed, which will cause the placenta connected with the fetal membrane to fall off and cause a lot of bleeding.

Artificial membrane rupture can avoid this danger, and it doesn't hurt at all. In most cases, the mother has finished it without knowing it.

If the labor process is normal, the ideal situation is to keep the amniotic fluid bag intact before delivery, because it plays a role in protecting the fetal head.

But sometimes, although the water breaks, it may not have started to grow; If the water has been broken, medical staff usually want to arrange to start delivery within 24 hours, because the broken water will increase the risk of maternal and fetal infection and the discomfort of uterine contraction.

What is the process of artificial water breaking? When the water is broken manually, it is generally necessary for the lying-down woman. The midwife will help you to the delivery bed, and move the lower part of the bed so that your hips are right next to the bed.

Bend your legs and relax. Occupy this position. Doctors are most likely to touch the vagina and cervix of the parturient.

The doctor will gently insert an instrument called an amniotic hook into the vagina and make a hole in the amniotic sac. This sterile special instrument is very similar to a plastic crochet.

This process will not make the parturient feel pain, but it is a bit as uncomfortable as internal diagnosis. When warm amniotic fluid gushes out, the nurse will first put a puerperal pad under it to facilitate absorption, and the parturient may feel less pressure.

Generally speaking, the pain caused by this measure is similar to that caused by vaginal examination. Once the amniotic sac is torn, the amniotic fluid will flow out, and then the amniotic fluid will flow into the bucket placed under the bed in advance.

Most expectant mothers find this process uncomfortable, but it is not very painful. Usually after the operation, they will be happy to stand up again.

After the water is artificially broken, the midwife will carefully check the baby's heartbeat with a fetal heart Doppler stethoscope or with the help of an old-fashioned fetal heart stethoscope to ensure that the baby does not feel oppressive after the water is broken.
