Does the amniotic fluid come out when you give birth?

Question

This is for a school assignment, by the way.

Answer 1

yes, this is the water that breaks, its the amniotic fluid, and then the rest will come out when you give birth.

Answer 2

Yes.

The water breaks before, or during labour before the birth of the child. After the baby is born more amniotic fluid usually comes out as it was trapped by the baby. In addition the amniotic fluid continues to replenish to some degree during labour.

Answer 3

Amniotic fluid is released when the "water breaks" which most often occurs at the beginning of labor.

Answer 4

Usually. In almost all cases, the "water" ruptures on its own by or during transition (dilation of 7cm to 10cm). Very occassionally, a baby will be born with the amniotic sac intact (this is termed being born "in the caul"). The superstition is that these babies will be very special and gifted. It also used to be a superstition of witchcraft.
OB/GYNs usually rupture the bag artificially if they haven't ruptured by the pushing stage; mine did without telling me ahead of time

Answer 5

The fluid comes out once the female's water breaks. not during birth.

Answer 6

the amniotic sac ruptures just before a woman is going into full labor. this is also know as "my water just broke"

Answer 7

Yes, well, either when you give birth or just before. You will hear it most often referred to as the water breaking.

Answer 8

when your water breaks it comes out..so yes when you give birth too...some fluid comes out.

Answer 9

I think you should go into the ER just to make sure everything is ok. Were you having any signs of contractions before this happened? Have someone take in into ER to be safe.
