I put on almost 20kg and mine had to be broken after the birth :) I know it's just anecdote, but I find this stuff interesting.

I haven't heard of this Jo but did read something fairly recently (possibly on this list!) that women who took vitamin C were less likely to have pre-labour ruptured membranes. It is interesting that some women's membranes seem to break so easily, like when doing a VE and others stay intact until birth. Maybe there is a relation between maternal nutrition and the membranes.

I have absolutely no data on this, but someone once told me it correlates with weight gain during pregnancy. Has anyone else heard of this?

Hi all,

Can anyone comment on what makes the membranes 'tough'..ie. hard to break (AROM) or *slow* to break naturally ? (hard to measure yes) Does this exist or is it just something that happens?

Many thanks,

Kristin
