Opening the amniotic sac (amniotomy)
In the past, it was frequently usual to induce the birth with the blowing-up of the amniotic sac. The labors start through this or get stronger. Monitoring apparatuses can be attached directly to the unborn one and the condition of the fetus water checked. The premature blowing-up of the amniotic sac usually brings more disadvantages than advantages, however.
The longer the amniotic sac is intact, all the gentler the birth is for mother and child. The woman can process the labors better because the pressure of the childlike head is muffled by the fetus water. She therefore needs less analgesics. The child has a greater motion room to move at closed amniotic sac and gives him the possibility of turning and bending its head more lightly. The baby finds its way lighter by the birth canal.
In addition, the danger of infection increases for the unborn one with any hour in which it doesn't lie in the protection of the intact amniotic sac. After opening of the amniotic sac the birth must therefore be brought to an end in a particular time period.
If it even comes to an amniotomy if the childlike head doesn't sit in the pelvis deeply yet, then it even can come to a cord prolapse by the undertow effect of the fetus water. If the obstetricians already open the amniotic sac at only five centimeters os uteri opening, too, then the edge of the os uteri can tear, a stronger load of the childlike head can be the consequence. The artificial opening of the amniotic sac to the birth induction has to be declined therefore
