What should I do if my water breaks?

2y ago

If you feel a gush or continuous slow drip of liquid from your vagina, this could mean that your water has broken. If your water breaks, the clock is ticking, and labor should generally progress within 18 hours of your water bag breaking to minimise the risk of infection. Given the relative accessibility to quality healthcare in Singapore, you should head to the hospital you intend to deliver at and have a healthcare professional assess for signs of labour.
