HELLO DEAR
I understand your problem, your sister should go tertiary care hospital which has NICU facilities immediately as these are the signs of labour and as your sister has crossed 34 weeks and membrane has been ruptured she should be under monitoring and after the coverage of betamethasone she can be undertaken for delivery as compared to continue pregnancy which can cause infection in mother and in baby as well so immediately consult gynaecologist to asses condition and to plan treatment accordingly. ALL THE BEST
THANKS
