    Question Dry Birth

    Hi i just have a question, an aquaitance (sp?) has gone into labour, her waters broke, but they arnt going to do anything like bring on the labour etc because she is only 35 weeks. Is there such thing as a dry birth?? Or does the amniotic fluid keep producing and come out because her waters have broken??
    Any help here would be great!!

    Amniotic fluid levels keep replenishing even after they have broken. She will be fine My mum said she had a 'dry' birth with my brother, he was born with waters intact

    My SIL said she had a dry birth, I think in her case though it was more that there wasn't much fluid to begin with? Anyway, she birthed fine.
