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.
When your water breaks, you might feel a popping sensation, along with a slow trickle of fluid. It can be mistaken for urine at first, but most of the time, amniotic fluid is clear and odourless; youâll probably be able to tell the difference, but if youâre unsure, call your healthcare practitioner who can do a physical exam and run tests to determine if youâre leaking.
