During pregnancy, women may face many symptoms and challenges that may cause anxiety. Among these symptoms, there is a decrease in amniotic fluid, which raises many questions for potential mothers. In the  Dalili Medical, reason of this article, we will discuss the symptoms of the amniotic fluid in the third month of pregnancy, and we will answer five common questions related to this sensitive topic. The decrease in amniotic fluid is a source of great concern for mothers, but understanding the possible symptoms and the right time for medical intervention can help reduce stress and ensure a healthy pregnancy.

**How ​​to check the leakage of amniotic fluid?**

 

. **Medical examination** The doctor can perform an examination to confirm the presence of leakage of amino acids, during the physical examination and analysis of the leakage.

. **Using a moisture measuring device** It is possible to use a moisture measuring device to determine if the leaked liquid is an amino liquid, and it is one of the advanced methods of diagnosis.

What does it mean to feel the sudden humidity?

 

If you feel sudden wetness and you are in the third month of pregnancy, you must consult a doctor immediately to perform the necessary tests.

**Can leakage of amino acid be dangerous?**

 

Yes, if there is leakage of amino acids, it may be a sign of serious health problems or abnormalities that require urgent medical attention.

What happens if amino acid leakage is confirmed?

 

When the leakage of amniotic fluid is confirmed, the mother may need close medical follow-up, and it may be necessary to consult specialists to monitor the condition and developments.

Are there any ways to prevent amino acid leakage?

 

There are no specific ways to prevent amniotic fluid leakage, but maintaining comfort and avoiding excess tension can help reduce the risk.

Can my amniotic fluid leak stop by itself?

 

The leakage of amniotic fluid cannot be stopped by itself, and it usually requires medical intervention to manage the condition properly.

**What is amniotic fluid?**

 

When the fetus is in the mother's womb, it is inside a sac known as the amniotic sac, which consists of two membranes: the placenta and the placenta. The embryo grows and develops inside this sac, which surrounds the amniotic fluid. In the beginning, this liquid is formed from the water produced by the mother, but by the 20th week of pregnancy, it is completely replaced by the urine of the fetus, where the fetus swallows this liquid and expels it. Amniotic fluid also contains vital components, such as nutrients, hormones and antibodies that fight infection. If the amniotic fluid is green or brown in color, this indicates that the fetus has already expelled the placenta before birth, which is the name given to the first bowel movements of the child. The presence of amniotic fluid in the amniotic fluid is a problem, as it can lead to the condition known as amniotic aspiration syndrome, which occurs when the amniotic fluid enters the lungs. In some cases, the height of children needs treatment after their birth.

**How ​​to detect amniotic fluid leakage at home?**

 

You can do a simple test. It is important that the bladder is empty and that the genitals are clean and dry. Put a piece of white cloth on the bed and lie on it without moving for about an hour. After that, you can proceed. If you notice any leakage, there is no need to worry.

What are the common symptoms of amniotic fluid leakage?

 

How can you differentiate between amniotic fluid leakage, vaginal fluid leakage, or vaginal discharge, or all three together? Usually, our urine smells like ammonia, and it is common for bladder leakage to occur during pregnancy. As for the vaginal fluid, it may be white or yellow. While amniotic fluid is usually clear and odorless, it may wet your underwear. If you are worried about the symptoms of amniotic fluid leakage, the best step is to contact your doctor. The doctor will perform an examination including the spot, in addition to performing a series of tests, including taking a sample of the fluid and examinations under the microscope.

Is there a risk of amniotic fluid leakage?

 

Leakage is considered an unsafe operation, as it can lead to the survival of only a small amount of liquid, which negatively affects the ability of the fetus to grow normally. This increases the risk of the fetus being exposed to infection, as well as the risk of sepsis, which may lead to the death of the fetus and the mother. Microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi can penetrate through this barrier. Also, the umbilical cord can be subjected to pressure, which leads to anxiety in normal metabolic processes. This violation affects the conditions that allow the fetus to move and develop in a healthy way, which affects the production of necessary components, increases permeability and reduces sterilization.

What are the functions of amniotic fluid?

 

1. **protecting the fetus**: the amniotic fluid acts to protect the fetus from external pressures, as it absorbs injuries.

2. **Temperature regulation**: The liquid contributes to the isolation of the fetus and maintaining the temperature within the normal range.

3. **Anti-infection**: Amniotic fluid contains antibodies that help protect the fetus from infection.

4. **Development of the lung and digestive system**: During the process of breathing and swallowing liquid, the fetus exercises the muscles of these systems during development.

5. **Development of muscles and bones**: The fluid allows the fetus to move freely inside the amniotic sac, which helps the development of muscles and bones in a healthy way.

6. **Lubrication**: It prevents the amniotic fluid from sticking to other parts of the body, such as fingers, as adhesion can occur if the fluid levels are low.

7 ** Supporting the umbilical cord: the action of the fluids in the womb to protect the umbilical cord from pressure, where this cord carries food and oxygen from the placenta to the fetus.

What does amniotic fluid leakage look like?

 

The amniotic fluid is a transparent fluid, similar in consistency to waterIt sometimes appears in blue, green or brown in the presence of a child. White spots can also appear due to the presence of mucus. If there is a tail, the color of the amniotic fluid changes to red. It is important to note that leaking water during pregnancy is not normal.

**Symptoms of amniotic fluid leakage in the third month**

. **Sudden lack of fluids** The most prominent signs of amino acid leakage are the feeling of extreme wetness or unexplained vomiting. I noticed that the clothes were wet suddenly without being in a state of sweating.

. **Unfamiliar smell** Amino acid leakage may be associated with an unusual smell, similar to ammonia, which may indicate the presence of current leakage.

. **Fluid color change** In some cases, the amino acid fluid appears in an unnatural color, such as green or white, which indicates the existence of a problem that calls for urgent medical intervention.

. **Abdominal contractions** The person feels slight contractions in the abdominal area when the amniotic fluid leaks, and it depends on the cause of the leakage and the extent of the effect on the uterus.

** contractions in the movement of the fetus ** the recognition of changes in the movement of the fetus or the feeling of contractions, sometimes the symptoms that accompany the descent of the amniotic fluid.

** Causes of amniotic fluid leakage **

. **Early membrane rupture** Early amino acid membrane rupture is considered one of the main causes of amino acid leakage. This tear can happen at any stage of pregnancy, but it usually happens at the end of the third trimester, when it is ready to give birth. The reason for this may be the weakness of the membranes or the attacks to injury or unnatural tearing.

. **Vaginal inflammations** Some inflammations in the reproductive system can lead to weakness of the amniotic membranes, which increases the possibility of premature amniotic fluid leakage.

. **Multiple pregnancy** In cases of multiple or multiple pregnancies, the pressure on the amniotic sac increases, which may lead to rupture of the membranes and leakage of the amniotic fluid.

. **Excess amino fluid** In some cases, the body produces an excessive amount of amino fluid, which leads to increased intrauterine pressure and early rupture of the membranes.

- ** Abdominal injuries ** A direct injury or accident in the abdominal area during pregnancy can lead to rupture of the amniotic membrane and fluid leakage.

- **Medical procedures** Some medical procedures performed during pregnancy, such as tuberculosis examination, increase the risk of amniotic fluid leakage as a result of direct intervention in the amniotic sac.

**amniotic fluid leakage rate**

Usually, the flow of amniotic fluid occurs only when the birth process begins. In other times, it must not happen. The liquid flows through the reproductive tract, and this should not happen before the 8th and 30th week of pregnancy. In this case, about 500 ml of liquid will be secreted, and it will have an unusual and distinctive smell. It is accompanied by contractions that gradually increase in strength and density.

**Feelings of amniotic fluid leakage**

A woman can feel a sudden or gradual leakage of fluid from the reproductive system, without specific sensations such as pain, burning or itching. When fluid leakage occurs immediately before delivery, it may be followed by fluid flow after contractions, which may be painful at times.

**Amniotic fluid leakage in the first months of pregnancy**

In case of leakage of amniotic fluid during the first months (first, second and third), the only available option is abortion. So far, there are no records of successful cases of maintaining pregnancy in such circumstances. Often we end up trying to cure the infection of the mother and the fetus with failure. Leakage is accompanied by the active release of disease-causing bacteria, which leads to inflammation and erosion of the walls of the amniotic sac and loss of elasticity. In many cases, leakage occurs as a result of a woman's fall. For up to 20 weeks, leakage is always accompanied by inflammation, and at this stage the child cannot be saved. If it is possible to save, the new-born will most likely suffer from multiple problems that are incompatible with life. Still, fluid leakage in the second trimester carries many risks and threats to life. Where the ideal conditions for the spread of infection and reproduction are provided. When all the reasons for diagnosis are available, ultrasound is performed. Ultrasound helps in determining the maturity of the fetus and its readiness to live outside the mother's womb. When the alveoli and respiratory system are sufficiently developed, the fetus begins to stimulate general activity, which is the best option because it helps to save its life. If the fetus is not yet mature, then it is necessary to extend the pregnancy period and wait for the fetus to be ready for birth.

But if the leakage of amniotic fluid occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy, ultrasound is performed to assess the degree of fetal maturity. And if the fetus is ready to live outside the womb, it will stimulate the vitality of labor. And if the fetus does not develop sufficiently, the pregnancy period is extended.

**Amniotic fluid leakage in the 38th, 39th and 40th weeks of pregnancy**

During these intervals, you can expect the onset of labor. Therefore, if fluid discharge occurs, you must be susceptible to the possibility of premature birth. Usually, labor begins immediately after the discharge of fluid. If labor does not start after the first period, it may be necessary to induce labor to avoid any complications. The child will be ready for birth.

**Symptoms of amniotic fluid leakage**

. **Increase in vaginal secretions** Leakage of amino acid can be associated with a significant increase in vaginal secretions, which may be watery or clear and runny in consistency.

. **Continuous swelling in the underwear** If the underwear is constantly wet or the pregnant woman feels a sudden swelling similar to the leakage of urine, it may be due to the leakage of amino acid.

. **Absence of smell** Unlike urinary leakage, which is characterized by a strong smell, the amino liquid is usually without a clear smell, or the smell is similar to the smell of mold.**- Clear or pinkish secretions** Sometimes, amniotic fluid appears with clear or pinkish secretions, as a result of mixing a small amount of liquid with blood and uterus.

**- The feeling of heaviness in the womb** If the pregnant woman feels a change in the movement of the fetus or an unusual heaviness in the womb, it may be an indication of a deficiency in the amount of amino fluid.

**Aminofluid deficiency:** This condition occurs in about 4% of all pregnancies and 12% in continuous pregnancies after the due date. The amino acid index (AFI) is measured using ultrasound, and the condition is diagnosed when the amount is less than 5 cm. The normal index ranges from 5 to 25 cm, while the maximum vertical angle should be at least 2 cm.

The decrease is especially in cases of fluid leakage, such as rupture of the membranes surrounding the fetus. Also, the indicator may be low in certain stages of pregnancy or if the fetus does not move as expected.

This condition can also occur in mothers who have a history of one of the following medical conditions:

- Ex-carrying with a restriction.

- Chronic high blood pressure.

- Detachment of the placenta.

- Pregnancy.

- diabetes

- Lupus

- Multiple pregnancy conditions such as pregnancy

What should a pregnant woman do in the absence of amniotic fluid?

The treatment varies according to the stage of pregnancy:

**In the first and second trimesters:**Pregnant women should seek medical help immediately. Usually, it is necessary to visit the obstetrician on a weekly basis to assess the amount of amniotic fluid during pregnancy. If the doctor performs an ultrasound examination and finds that the fluid level is very low, he may advise to increase the amount of fluids that the pregnant woman consumes. The medical team will check the body temperature and perform breath tests to verify the presence of signs of infection or labor. In addition, tests are performed to evaluate the health of the fetus, such as listening to the heartbeat and measuring vital signs. In this way, it can be confirmed that the pregnancy is developing properly despite the lack of amniotic fluid.

**in the third trimester of my pregnancy**

 

When there is a large lack of fluid after the seventh and thirtieth week, it is usually not serious, and it often indicates the beginning of labor. In these cases, the woman can stay at home for up to 18 hours, but after this period, it is recommended to go to the maternity hospital to evaluate the condition with the doctor. The doctor may recommend intravenous antibiotics while waiting for labor to start, and if labor does not start within 12 to 24 hours, the obstetrician may suggest induction of labor. Birth to determine the cause and evaluate the health of the fetus.

Treatment of amniotic fluid leakage during pregnancy**

 

The treatment depends on several factors, including the cause of the leak, the age of the pregnancy, the general health of the mother, and the growth of the fetus.

Your doctor may advise you to rest in bed and reduce your activities, which may require you to stay in a state of relaxation for about a day.

If you have an infection, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics that are safe to use during pregnancy.

Although it is too early to determine the due date of delivery, medications can be used to help stop early labor and amniotic fluid leakage. However, if the fetus is fully developed and there are no obstacles to childbirth in the third trimester, your doctor may choose to induce labor using drugs.

If you are suffering from a deficiency in salivary secretion, your doctor may inject a saline solution into the uterus through the cervix. This treatment can help reduce the risk of other health complications, such as umbilical cord compression or cord prolapse.

**How ​​to deal with amniotic fluid leakage?**

 

It is not possible to stop the leakage of amniotic fluid completely, but it is possible to contact the doctor at the right time and take the necessary measures to reduce the risk of infection and save the pregnancy.

**Medications** Any medication should be taken according to the doctor's recommendations, preferably under medical supervision in the hospital. Medicines that regulate uterine tone are considered very dangerous, as they contain many side effects. It requires careful monitoring of blood pressure, pulse rate, and electrocardiogram indicators.

To extend the pregnancy period, you can use the drug "Ginebra" which helps in reducing the excessive tension in the uterus. The tablets containing 500 mg of the active substance "hexoprenaline sulfate" should be taken at the beginning at the rate of one tablet every 3 hours, then every 4-6 hours, with a daily dose ranging between 4-8 tablets. Taking the tablets should be accompanied by continuous monitoring of the heartbeat of the mother and the fetus. If the heart rate exceeds 130 beats per minute, the dose must be reduced.

You should pay attention to the fact that this drug may cause many side effects for both the mother and the child, including heart failure, respiratory problems, and lack of oxygen. It can also lead to anemia in newborns.

**Salbupart** - this drug contributes greatly to reducing the vitality of uterine contractions. It is administered intravenously, where one ampoule is mixed with 500 ml of saline solution and infused at the rate of 5 drops per minute.

**Bricanil** - works to relieve spasms and increase tension, which helps to relax muscles. It is used in cases of threatened spontaneous abortion and insufficient cervix. The recommended dosage is 2-5 mg three times a day (1-2 tablets).

**Partusisten** - It is a medicine used to relax smooth muscles, and it is given intravenously. The optimal dose is individual and varies greatly from 0.5 to 3.0 micrograms per minute. During the pumping process, add 2 ampoules of medicine (10 ml) to 230 ml of saline solution.

* Morning and amniotic fluid leakage **

We often confuse the secretions of LAs a result of melting the candle and leakage of amniotic fluid. For an accurate diagnosis, it is preferable to perform a test to determine if there is amniotic fluid leakage.

**Vitamins** Pregnant women need vitamins, whether during normal pregnancy or in disease states. It is recommended to take vitamins in the following daily doses:

- Vitamin E: 150 micrograms

- Vitamin C: 1000 mg

- Vitamin D: 45 mg

- Vitamin K: 360 micrograms

**Physical therapy** When extending the pregnancy, some physical therapy techniques, such as ultrasound, can be used. Physiotherapy is used to soothe the muscles (electrical procedures) and to limit the spread of inflammation and infection. Electrotherapy is also commonly used, as it ensures the deep delivery of drugs to the tissue.

**Alternative treatment** When considering using alternative means to treat amniotic fluid leakage, it is best to consult a doctor first. Alternative therapies are considered effective and safe when administered correctly, especially when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Among the active means that help to relax the muscles of the uterus are therapeutic baths. These baths can be performed at home, preferably for 15-20 minutes, with repetitions 3-4 times a week. The bath containing pine extract is considered a good option. To prepare the bath, it is possible to prepare a mug of 2-3 liters, then add it to the water in the bath after recording the temperature to be comfortable. You can also add some branches of needles and needles if you want. After finishing the bath, it is preferable not to dry the body immediately, but to wait for 3-5 minutes until the skin absorbs the moisture.

Therapeutic massages have significant positive effects. To achieve this, a saline solution is used, where a teaspoon of salt is dissolved in a glass of water. It is preferable that the water is at room temperature, then the body is wiped with the resulting solution for 5 to 10 minutes. You must wait until the moisture is completely absorbed before stopping to wipe. Salt helps in getting rid of toxins and excess fluids, which leads to lowering blood pressure and improving metabolic processes.

As for the eastern incense, it provides a comfortable and long-lasting effect, especially when combined with meditative and relaxing music. It is recommended to light candles and aromatic sticks, and form a circle in the room. After that, calm and relaxing music is played. You can lie down in the middle of the circle, closing your eyes and trying to relax as much as possible. It is important that you feel every cell in your body, and that you understand how to rest and wake up more relaxed and energetic. At this moment, you must give up all your thoughts and worries, and enjoy perfumes and music without doing anything or thinking about anything. Yofazl also immobility. You should listen to your heartbeat and breathing, and try to feel the baby's movements. This practice must be continued for at least 30 minutes, and it is recommended to repeat it daily for at least a city.

**Healing with herbs**

When using herbs for treatment, it is necessary to study the properties carefully. It is preferable to consult a specialist doctor in advance, as it helps in choosing the right treatment and determining the dosage accurately, which ensures correct integration within the comprehensive treatment plan. Blue corn grass is considered useful for relaxing and reducing uterine tension. To prepare Mughli, it is recommended to use about 5 grams of herbs with one cup of Mughli water, and eat it throughout the day.

As for the chamomile herb, it has anti-inflammatory effects. To prepare the decoction, use about 15-20 grams of herbs with 2-3 cups of water and drink during the day. Chamomile can also be added to tea by placing a few spoonfuls of the herb in the tea pot.

A decoction of stinging nettle and stevia is also considered useful. It is necessary to take the herbs in equal proportions and mix them together. To prepare the broth, use 30-40 grams of herbs with 1-2 cups of boiled water and drink it like tea throughout the day. Sugar or honey can be added as desired.

**homosexual therapy**

Contrary to popular belief, home remedies are not always safe. It may cause a lot of side effects, and some may not have a positive effect. Therefore, it is important to be careful and consult before using it.

**Nutrient mixture** To prepare this mixture, mix equal amounts of dried apricots, raisins, peaches, and walnuts. Grind these ingredients using a meat grinder, then add 25 finely chopped walnuts. Pour honey over the mixture and let it soak for 3-4 days. It is recommended to eat one tablespoon 1-2 times a day. This mixture enhances my immunity, reduces my fatigue and weakness, and also increases my ability to act and endure.

**Kalb Kalb broth** You can eat Kalb Kalb broth in its pure form or add it to tea as desired. This broth helps in reducing swelling and removing excess fluids from the body, as well as nourishing the body with vitamins and nutrients.

**"Healing" mixture** To prepare this mixture, use about 200 grams of fresh aloe vera leaves, add about 250 grams of honey and 400 grams of grape wine. Leave the mixture to soak for 7 days in a dark place. It is recommended to eat a teaspoon 3 times a day. This mixture helps to reduce fluid retention, stabilize the body, and normalize the metabolism.
