Light's Effect. Light is one of the most important external factors that can affect sleep. It does so both directly, by making it difficult for people to fall asleep, and indirectly, by influencing the timing of our internal clock and thereby affecting our preferred time to sleep.
The forewaters are released when the amnion ruptures. This is commonly known as the time when a woman's water breaks. When this occurs during labour at term, it is known as spontaneous rupture of membranes. If the rupture precedes labour at term, however, it is referred to as premature rupture of membranes.
After my water broke, my OB gave me 6 hours to get labor going- and when it didn't I was given pitocin so I could avoid a c-section. So my timeline was: water broke at 6 am, put on pit drip at 2 pm, delivered baby at 11 pm. Jennifer C Â· 9 years ago.
