Summary

This study looks at 86 pregnant people whose water broke early (before 37 weeks). Doctors want to know if using a finger exam (digital) is as safe as using a tool (speculum) to check the cervix. The main goal is to see if the type of exam changes how long the pregnancy lasts before delivery.
