Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of nitrazine test for PROM in this study were 87.5%, 100%, 100%, 88.9%, and 93.7%, respectively. This is similar but slightly higher than in the study by Agbara et al. in which nitrazine had an accuracy of 89.3%.[ 30] It was also comparable to the study by Haseli et al. with the values 94.1%, 90.5%, 98.2%, and 73.1%.[ 31] Infection transmission. Someone who has an infection — such as hepatitis C, toxoplasmosis or HIV/ AIDS— might transfer it to the baby during amniocentesis. Because an examination of the amniotic fluid can only be performed at a relatively late stage of pregnancy, it is no longer possible to perform suction or curettage in the event of a positive examination. This means that an artificial miscarriage must be induced. Labor-promoting preparations are used in this case. For the pregnant woman, such a measure is extremely stressful both emotionally and physically and can be associated with serious psychological consequences. It is therefore often advisable to seek psychological or psychotherapeutic treatment. Performing Amniocentesis “On Your Own” With A Urine Test Strip Note: This is just a remembrance of how I used to do it, I am in no way recommending you do it. I have to say that the gold standard Amnisure is your best bet. I’m just sharing a little history here:

Amniocentesis looks at a sample of amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid is a clear or pale yellow liquid that surrounds and protects an unborn baby throughout pregnancy. The fluid contains cells that provide important information about your unborn baby's health. With the help of the amniotic fluid examination, it is also possible to determine the risk of Down syndrome or trisomy 21. The AChE protein is an enzyme of the nervous system. If a neural tube defect is present in the unborn baby, the AChE level is also significantly elevated. These Diseases Can Be Detected By The Examination Already During Pregnancy Unequivocally, yes. The test can often be done in their office (which is WAY faster than going into the hospital), so call them and see what they think you should do. Most people aren’t going to have a test at home, but there is another simple self-test you can try: One caveat: ( When you’re a nurse as long as I have been a nurse you have a lot of horror stories.)March of Dimes [Internet].

Available from: https://www.marchofdimes.org/pregnancy/amniotic-fluid.aspx I would use a clean glove, get some of the paper (about a 3 inch strip) and bend it over my finger. Then I would place my finger gently into the vaginal canal (careful to hold onto the strip so I don’t lose it in there).

However, you should bear in mind that the results provided by an amniotic fluid test strip are not always 100 percent reliable. This is because the amount of fluid is sometimes not sufficient to make a really reliable diagnosis. Therefore, if in doubt, visit your gynecologist immediately and have yourself examined accordingly. Alternatively, you can ask your midwife for advice. Conclusion Think of your amniotic sac like a water balloon. While it’s possible to break the water balloon, causing a strong gush of fluid (known as your water breaking), it’s also possible that a small hole could develop in the sac. This can result in a slow leak of amniotic fluid. An amniocentesis is usually performed between the 14th and 19th week of pregnancy. If amniocentesis were performed at an earlier time, the physician would not be able to generate accurate findings. In addition, early amniocentesis could trigger a miscarriage. Here’s How Amniocentesis Proceeds: If you feel a gush of fluid, put a pad on. I then recommend laying down for 5 minutes and then getting up. If you don’t have more fluid come out at that point it is likely your water isn’t broken, but I’d still call your doctor and see what they recommend. If there is wetness, it could still be discharge, but call your provider.

What happens during amniocentesis?

If you suspect that your water has broken and there is fluid leaking from the vagina, your health care provider will need to confirm that the membranes have actually ruptured. The sample of amniotic fluid will be looked at in a lab. Some results might be available within a few days. Other results might take several weeks. After detailed explanation of the study and procedure informed consent was obtained. Sterile vaginal speculum examination was done for every patient. Unless the baby’s lungs are fully mature, the health care provider will want to wait to induce labor. You will talk about your own situation and the risks and treatment options available to you and your baby. the degree of fetal lung development, to determine if the baby’s lungs are mature enough to operate outside the womb
