When your waters break too early in pregnancy

February 10, 2025 mygyno
Your unborn baby is usually surrounded by fluid, commonly known as ‘waters’. The waters are contained in a sac medically called membranes. Normally, the waters break shortly before or during labor. If this happens at less than 37 weeks of pregnancy before labor ensues, it is referred to as preterm premature rupture of membranes. Two out of every 100 pregnant women experience premature breakage of their waters.
