<P> The forewaters are released when the amnion ruptures . This is commonly known as the time when a woman 's `` water breaks '' . When this occurs during labour at term , it is known as `` spontaneous rupture of membranes '' .

Artificial rupture of membrane ( ARM ) , a manual rupture of the amniotic sac , can also be performed to release the fluid if the amnion has not spontaneously ruptured . </P>
