It is safer for the baby to be born a few weeks early than it is for you to risk an infection. BEFORE 34 WEEKS. If your water breaks before 34 weeks, it is more serious. If there are no signs of infection, the doctor may try to hold off your labor by putting you on bed rest. Steroid medicines are given to help the baby's lungs grow quickly. The baby will do better if its lungs have more time to grow before being born.
