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.
If you are between 34 and 37 weeks when your water breaks, your doctor will likely suggest that you be induced. It is safer for the baby to be born a few weeks early than it is for you to risk an infection. BEFORE 34 WEEKS. If your water breaks before 34 weeks, it is more serious. If there are no signs of infection, the doctor may try to hold off your labor by putting you on bed rest. Steroid medicines are given to help the baby's lungs grow quickly. The baby will do better if its lungs have more time to grow before being born.
