A thin membrane surrounding the fetus and containing serous fluid.
Human amniotic membranes come from the fetal membranes which consist of the inner amniotic membrane made of single layer of amnion cells
Premature rupture of membranes occurs when the amniotic sac is torn, causing the amniotic fluid to leak out.
The amniotic sac is the sac in which the fetus develops in amniotes. Its wall is the amnion, the inner of the two fetal membranes. It encloses the amniotic cavity and the embryo.

The amniotic egg has seven different parts that play different functions. The seven parts include the shell, albumen, chorion, yolk, allantois, ammunion and embryo.
A type of egg is composed of a protective shell and membranes that surround the developing embryo is an egg
PPROM is an acronym for Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes. To explain it, we should break it apart: * Rupture of membranes (ROM) is the normal breaking of the amniotic membranes that occurs during labor. Most people call this "breaking their water." * Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) occurs when the amniotic membranes are ruptured (water breaks) before actual labor has started. Sometimes, physicians may rupture membranes prematurely in an attempt to induce or augment the labor process. PROM indicates this was not an intentional ROM * Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) indicates that there is premature rupture of membranes before the child has been carried to term (> 36 weeks gestation).

Monotremes lay amniotic eggs. Monotremes include just the platypus, the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna.There are two mammals that lay amniotic eggs. The two mammals that lay amniotic eggs are echidna and platypus.
No that is the fluid the fetus has lived in all these months. It's not induced but has always been there. The rupture of membranes ("water breaks") which releases the amniotic fluid occurs at delivery naturally, caused by the labor process, or it can be artificially ruptured by your health care professional to start labor. In the case of the latter, you may hear it said that delivery was "induced" by artificial rupture of membranes.
Endoscopic fetoscopy has the potential for causing infection in the fetus and/or mother; premature rupture of the amniotic membranes; premature labor; and fetal death.
I would think that "water breaking" would fall into that category. Often in medicine it is referred to as 'Rupture of membranes' or ROM. If it is done by the doctor or midwife rather than Spontaneously (SROM), it is called artificial rupture of membranes or AROM.
You can have what is called a membrane sweep, or, better yet, have a few of them and that should help rupture your membranes and amniotic fluid will gush out sooner than if you had nothing done.
