Dad to be worried about partner.waters broke today at 35 weeks?

[StevenLeia]

Hi all,
I wondered how common it is for waters to break so early?
I am very worried although I never let that show to my partner of course as its our first.She has been given steroids and will be sent home tommorow evening if the contractions have not started.
They would like to induce her in two weeks (37 weeks) but I am petrified about infections etc in between this time..
Any one been in a similar situation?Any advice regarding preventing infections?
Thanks for any help.yours petrified
Steve..

wishing you all every happiness together.. x

Congratulations to both of you.
Lovely photos, my dd1 was born at 35 weeks, and I remember the hair too! She is now almost 6 and absolutley fine.
