the rupture of the amniotic sac occur more than an hour before onset of labor is called premature rupture of the membrane.premature rupture of the membrane is preterm when its occur before 37 week of gestation
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).

Premature rupture of membranes occurs when the amniotic sac is torn, causing the amniotic fluid to leak out.

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.
Chlamydia can cause premature rupture of membranes and preterm labor, both of which increase the risk of cerebral palsy.
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.
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.
A previous preterm delivery, previous trauma to the cervix, early rupture of membranes, hormonal influences, abnormalities of the cervix or uterus, exposure as a fetus to diethylstilbestrol.
The leading cause of neonatal morbidity is preterm birth, which is defined as birth before 37 weeks of gestation. Preterm birth can be associated with various complications such as respiratory distress syndrome, infections, and neurological issues, leading to increased morbidity and mortality in newborns. It is important to identify and manage risk factors for preterm birth to improve neonatal outcomes.
