Late pregnancy question : Will my water break early ?

The chance that you will experience water leaking, rupturing, or breaking early depends upon the factor that caused premature breaking of the water during the previous pregnancy. If the same factor is still present, there are chances for another premature breaking of the waters. Causes for apremature water break could be various and complex:
1. Weak contact between leading part of the fetus and walls of the birth canal. This can happen in cases of a horizontal or obliquely positioned fetus in the uterus, a larger fetus, narrowed pelvis, a larger quantity of amniotic liquid etc;
2. Chronic infection in the cervical canal (endocervicitis);
3. Injury during pregnancy;
4. Sexual intercourses during late pregnancy;
5. Previous abortions, cervical dilatations and other previous cervical damages;
6. Bad genital hygiene;
7. Congenital weakness of the cervix in healthy women

You can consult your OB-GYN for a review of your medical history and further advice.
