She was leaking amniotic fluid. That means her membrane was broken. That often triggers labor, although maybe not immediately. In addition, that means that bacteria can become a problem. Both risks become greater the longer you wait.

But she was in close contact with her personal physician throughout the course of the events. The physician was advising her and she was following the physician's instructions.

"In addition, that means that bacteria can become a problem."

combjelly,

Yes, there are some risks, but "leak" is not full rapture. And some women are in actual labor for more than a day. Palin was not in labor. Based on the article, she still wasn't in labor at the time she arrived to her preferred destination. Labor had to be induced.

A woman who already delivered 4 babies has some idea what is going on and what to expect.

Besides, women have delivered babies in caves for millennia. Any place she traveled was much more sterile than a cave.

Not her first rodeo - she had done this four times before.
