If a woman experiences the signs of labor, does she fast and pray?

The questioner : If a woman experiences the waters, is that a sign of labor? Does she pray, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Unless she sees the contractions and blood comes out of her, and she gives birth a day or two later, then she is in a state of post-natal bleeding.

The questioner : She did not pray the Fajr prayer. The asking sister says that she saw these waters, O Shaykh. Does she make up this prayer?

The Shaykh : Yes, she makes up the prayer.

The questioner : All right.
