Usually referred to as "breaking of the water bag," this is when the fluid-filled sac that surrounds the baby breaks or tears. You may notice a
gush of water or a slow leak, and may not even be certain that what you're experiencing isn't simple incontinence. If you suspect your water has broken, you must inform your
health care provider immediately. You should also prepare to have your baby, as the risk of infection increases if the baby is not delivered within 24 hours of the
rupture.
