Amniotic fluid study for short cervix or early water break
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the fluid around the baby (amniotic fluid) in women with a short cervix or with early breaking of the water (premature rupture of membranes). The goal is to better understand these conditions and possibly improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more).
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have a short cervix (less than 24 mm) before 24 weeks of pregnancy, with your water not broken and no contractions.
- OR you have had your water break early (before 34 weeks).
- OR you are a healthy pregnant woman having amniocentesis to check for chromosome problems.
- You agree to participate and sign a consent form.

This trial is testing whether intentionally breaking the remaining membrane (the amnion) after your water has partially broken can help labor start sooner. It is for women who are near their due date, have a single head-down baby, and are not yet in labor.
This study looks at the fluid around your baby (amniotic fluid) and how it might affect your baby's gut health if they are born early. It may help doctors understand how to better care for preterm infants.
This study tests a new way to measure amniotic fluid by also looking at the baby's bladder. It could help doctors better track the health of your pregnancy.
This trial tests amnioreduction (draining extra fluid) to relieve symptoms of polyhydramnios, a condition where there is too much amniotic fluid in pregnancy. It may help improve comfort and reduce risks for you and your baby.
This trial tests if adding a Foley bulb to oxytocin is better than oxytocin alone for inducing labor when your water has broken early (between 34 and 37 weeks). It aims to find the safest and most effective method to help you deliver.
This trial tests different treatments for low amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios) in pregnant women. It aims to find which treatment works best for women who are also scheduled for a planned C-section.
