A member asked:
Pre term labour: is it true that if water breaks before contractions, than its less likely you will have pre term labour in future? or still at risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Still at risk: Water breakage before contractions in pregnancy is more likely to produce early labor not less. Future pregnancies are likely to cause early delivery as well with a cervix that is incompetent.
