Hopefully this page can be of some help in the
research of finding what causes PPROM, and how to prevent it from
happening, or happening again - if it is possible. Here you can
read many PROM stories and find information on different situations
around PROM, given from women who have experienced PROM. This
information page is deliberately built upon the belief that there
is a chance of a successful outcome, and that knowledge can help
or prevent future PROM babies.
...............................................................
Between countries, hospitals, and doctors treatment or management
of PROM are handled differently. Bedrest? Antibiotics? Induction?
We are each given different information about our chances for
a successful outcome. Very few have found the answer as to why
their PROM happened. What is the truth? Becoming pregnant after
prom (PAP), brings up many more questions.
Join the PROM mailing
list or the Facebook PPROM support group to get support from other PROM
moms.

Note: PPROM and PROM are mostly called "PROM" at these pages.
