Labor may begin with rupture of the membranes, experienced either as a sudden gush or as scanty, slow seeping of clear fluid from the vagina. Mrs. Vanessa Narciso, your 30 week pregnant client, was rushed to the emergency room, complaining the she expelled blood tinged mucus 24 hrs ago. She also reports that some twenty minutes ago, a heavy gush of warm liquid suddenly flowed. This was followed by regular, more intense and more painful uterine contractions. Mrs. Narciso also informs you that her BOW has ruptured. Your priority question would be: a. What did the fluid look like? b. How much fluid did you lose from the rupture of your BOW? c. How frequent are your contractions now? d. Was it also accompanied by a bloody show?
