Normally, the rupture of membranes should be at full or nearly full disclosure of the cervix (the end of the first stage of labor).
The outpouring of water is considered to be:
- early, if it occurs in the I stage of labor to complete or nearly complete (
7-8 cm) disclosure - premature, if fetal bladder revealed until regular contractions,
- tardy, if full disclosure of the uterine mouth fetal bubble remains
some the whole time.
Causes
The exact causes of early or premature rupture of waters is not known. However, those women who were training for childbirth, such cases are rare. This is largely due to the emotional state of the woman, her ability to relax, and the general mood in the prosperous labor.
What to do?
In the case of sudden discharge of water, even if there are no fights or they are weak and at long intervals, you need to go to the hospital immediately, without delay.

In some cases, early or premature rupture of membranes may lead to:
- weakness of labor,
- prolonged duration of labor,
- fetal hypoxia,
- intracranial injury of the fetus,
- inflammation of the membranes and the uterine muscle.
At belated outpouring of water Doctors make an artificial opening of membranes — amniotomy.
