Call us immediately if you suspect that your water has broken and you are not yet 37 weeks pregnant.

From 37 weeks of pregnancy and regular contractions

If you are experiencing regular contractions that come every 4 to 5 minutes, call us. During the check-ups we discuss when is the best time to call, depending on your birth history.

From 37 weeks of pregnancy and ruptured waters

When membranes have ruptured, the color of the amniotic fluid is important. Call us during the day if you have clear, white or light pink amniotic fluid. Call us immediately if you see brown or green amniotic fluid, as this may indicate possible complications.

Head not descended and membranes broken

Call us immediately if the baby's head has not yet descended and your water breaks. Avoid unnecessary stairs and lie down.
