What will happen if my water break doesn’t occur?
If you show signs of distress or have a planned induction of labor, your membranes may be ruptured manually by your obstetrician. This process is called amniotomy and the obstetrician uses a thin plastic hook to make a small incision in the amniotic sac to release the fluid.
Some women who experience contractions and move into active labor without having their water broken may also require this procedure.
As you near your due date, it is natural to be anxious and scared about labor. To feel prepared, keep a stash of sanitary pads in your bathroom and purse. You can also put a plastic cover on your mattress, in case it happens at night during sleep. Remember this is a natural part of childbirth and signals a beautiful beginning. Your baby is on its way!
Consult your doctor if you have more questions or concerns about panubigan in pregnancy. If you experience your water breaking, immediately go to the nearest hospital and notify your doctor to prevent any untoward events for you or your baby.
