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.
The image most women have of oneâs water breaking is usually derived from TV or movies in which a pregnant mamaâs water breaks and all hell breaks loose. Letâs start off by saying that only about 10% of women will experience PROM â premature rupture of the membranes- meaning, the water breaks before the onset of labor.
