A member asked:
Is there a way to tell a fetuses lung maturation before they're born at 35.5 wks? would labour be stopped at this point if water had broken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and No: An amniocentesis can be done to assess for pg which would suggest fetal lung maturity, but there is not definitive test. Labor should not normally be halted after 34 weeks gestation.
