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.
Having said that, it is still fairly common for a womanâs water to break before labor starts. When we refer to water breaking, it describes how the bag of waters, known as amniotic fluid, breaks. The bag of waters protects your baby from infection and bacteria. If your water breaks, it is often a sign that labor is about to begin, but it can happen days before you go into labor. Often, your health care provider will want to induce labor after your water breaks, to reduce the risks of infection.
