Is this a problem? · We also discuss why Rachel is (slightly!) obsessed with the function of the amniotic sac during labour · We ask does breaking the amniotic sac (the waters) speed up labour at any point? · What if your amniotic sac breaks before labour? We discuss the time the time-frames around augmenting labour when this has happened. · And we discuss what if the membranes don’t break during labour? All this and lots more for your eager lug’ols.
