What Causes Rupture Of Amniotic Sac?

My wife s amneotic sac has ruptured on 20/112/10 but we only found out on a scan on Tuesday, since then I have been looking at frrums for similar stories hoing for some hope that the baby will survive. One person said that drinking lots of water will help restore some of the amneotic fluid lost, is this true? Steve

Hi,
I understand your concern
The exact cause of rupture membranes is not known. mostly it is associated with history of fall/ incompetant os/ undernourished & weak mother/ twin pregnancies/ hydramnios/ some fetal abnormalities.
Rupture of membranes mostly ends in delivery/ complications. A normal delivery is possible, in cases of rupture of membranes at term/ those who approach doctor & get treated meticulously.
Rupture of membranes is mostly felt by the lady as a sudden gush of warm fluid out of uterus.,.. which continues to dribble out, changes it' s color .The discharge increases on coughing/ straining.
Your wife did not have such symptoms.& the diagnosis was while the scanning . I doubt weather it is really a ruptured membrane or reduction of amniotic fluid.. which is a totally separate condition , can be treated by specific treatment.
* I would advise you to consult a gynecologist, get thoroughly examined / investigated ( as per need ) & start with treatment advised strictly.
Thanks.
