After the water breaks, the risk of infection increases, particularly if delivery is delayed for more than 24 hours. The protective barrier provided by the amniotic sac is lost, allowing bacteria to potentially ascend from the vagina into the uterus. This can lead to conditions such as chorioamnionitis, which poses risks for both the mother and the baby. Prompt medical evaluation and intervention are important to minimize these risks.
