PRETERM PRELABOUR RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES (PPROM)
WATERS BREAKING BEFORE 37 WEEKS OF PREGNANCY

Here at Little Heartbeats we are all mothers who have first hand experience of
suffering PPROM and those experiences differ across the board. However we are
not medically trained, therefore it is  imperative that your medical condition
be discussed with your medical team.


BUILDING AWARENESS

The purpose of our site is three-fold. Firstly to create and build a source of
information and support, helping to improve the general awareness of the
pregnancy-related condition, medically known as PPROM.

Find out more


RESEARCH & INSIGHT

Secondly as an appeal for donations to help fund medical studies that aim to
seek a better understanding of the causes and therefore ultimately prevention of
this potentially devastating event.

Explore Research


WOMEN'S PERSPECTIVE

Finally as a platform from which to voice opinion based on real experience as to
how the medical professionals involved in childbirth might improve their
understanding, treatment and care of PPROM patients.

Prelabour

Rupture

Of

Membranes

PPROM is the acronym for Preterm Prelabour Rupture Of Membranes.

This is otherwise known as when the waters break prior to 37 weeks during
pregnancy. These waters, known as the amniotic fluid, protect your baby from
injury. It also helps in preventing infection being passed from mother to baby.

 

As soon as the waters break the risks of infection to both mother and baby are
high.

 

Therefore good management of care at this stage is key to treating this
condition successfully.

Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG)

In recognition of our efforts and intentions we have kindly been granted
permission from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) to
link to their leaflet which contains the guidelines set out for UK hospitals to
follow in the event of PPROM.

Little Heartbeats works with various researchers providing insight into PPROM
and provide a better understanding in support to women who are faced with PPROM.

PPROM Research



OUR MISSION STATEMENT

To give pregnant women as much information as possible, to help make more
informed decisions when facing PPROM, offering support, educating and empowering
women to understand this condition and the choices available to them should they
suffer PPROM.



To contribute in the development of professional policies on the improvement of
communication skills and bedside manner specifically when dealing with PPROM
patients. To provide hospitals with RCOG literature outlining treatment and
choices. Invest in Specialist Midwives who are trained in PPROM management and
related conditions to support women regardless of outcome.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

We are not medical professionals. We are simply a group of women who have a
shared personal experience. We wish to publish these experiences in the hope
that others may better educate themselves. All advice has therefore been freely
and voluntarily submitted. However, to reiterate, for official current
guidelines follow the link to the RCOG leaflet.

 

All pregnant women should seek advice from their midwives and consultants.
Always report and discuss any medical worries you might have and be sure you are
content with the care you receive. If you do have any concerns about the care,
support or advice delivered you can seek a second opinion as to whether your
care package is suitable for you. Check your notes are always up to date. If in
doubt, ask.

 

Although we have made every effort to ensure that the external sites that we
link to are both accurate and reputable we ultimately cannot accept
responsibilty for the content therein.
