Hi, I am male 29 years old My wife's water broke on 01/08/2016. We did scanning on 03/08/2016. The doctor told that labor will start soon. The water was blowing every day. We waited till 10/08/2016. A slight pain started in her back on 11/08/2016. We rushed to hospital. After 3 hours we had a still born baby. He was our first baby, a boy. We are very upset. The weight of the child was 3.5 kg. We want to know the reason of death of my baby.

THE AMNIOTIC FLUID PLAYS A DIFFERENT ROLE IN PREGNANCY. IT ABSORBS SHOCK, IT LUBRICATED THE BABY AND GETS THE EXCRETION OF THE BABY OUT. IF THE WATER HAS BROKEN WE USUALLY GIVE STERIODS AND THEN INDUCE LABOUR AFTER 48 HOURS. IF THE WATER HAS BROKEN IT MEANS THAT INFECTION IN GOING TO GO IN. ALSO WATER BROKE THAT MEANS THE BABY IS GOING TO SWALLOW ITS OWN EXCRETA. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY WASNT YOUR LABOUR INDUCED OR WHY WERENT U SUGGESTED ABOUT CEASEREAN SECTION.
