Brief Answer:
yes you can

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I'm sorry to hear about the rupture of your bag of waters.
At 31 weeks you need to be admitted till delivery and need regular monitoring till delivery.
Yes it is possible to continue this pregnancy till 34 weeks in case you stop contracting and there are no signs of infection.
I hope your gynecologist has prescribed you steroids for lung maturation of baby.
You should take full bed rest with ample intake of water.

Brief Answer:
If temp rises termination needed.

Detailed Answer:
That is good and I'm sure you are in safe hands.
If the rise of temperature continues despite on antibiotics or there is any sign of infection in your reports then I'm afraid it may need termination of the pregnancy now. It may be needed despite of nil contractions.
But after steroids and with good nursing, baby will be able to survive the challenge at this stage.

Wish you all the best. Take care.
