At 39 weeks, my water broke, but my stomach doesn't hurt. When will I give birth?

Patient's question:

I am 25 years old this year. Today, my water broke, but I don't have abdominal pain. Please ask: if my water breaks at 39 weeks and I don't have abdominal pain, when will I give birth?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it is considered premature rupture of membranes. Generally, shortly after the membranes rupture, you may experience abdominal pain again and enter labor. It is recommended that if you haven't gone to the hospital yet, you should go to the hospital immediately for a thorough examination. It is best to use the hospital's ambulance to go to a regular hospital. If you are already at the hospital, you should follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. To prevent infection, you can check the baby's condition and it is best to stay at the hospital for labor.
