Complications after rupture of the bladder

When the amniotic sac has burst, the child is no longer in the protective amniotic fluid and there is a connection to the outside. Now there is a danger that infections will rise and lead to illness of the child in the womb. Depending on the week of pregnancy, lung damage or contractures of the extremities can also occur. A premature rupture of the bladder is also dangerous, especially if it occurs before the child is viable. Unfortunately, in many cases this unfortunately leads to a miscarriage and ascending infections are also a risk for the mother.

Rupture of the bladder

After about 40 weeks the pregnancy is complete and the date of birth is approaching. The amniotic sac and the child swimming in it have already developed their full maturity. Shortly before the birth, the amniotic sac finally bursts.

This can happen in gushes or drops and thus remain unnoticed. The process is completely painless. The amniotic fluid is odorless and therefore only the sudden wetness is unpleasant for the pregnant woman.If the amniotic sac has burst, this can be a sign that the birth is imminent.

The pregnant woman should then go to a hospital for further examination and observation. There, the width of the cervix is then observed, so that it can finally be estimated when the birth will begin. Often the woman in labour goes into labour very soon after the amniotic sac bursts. These are a further sign for the imminent delivery.
