PreTerm Premature Rupture Of Membranes 

Today, I walked with a mother through one of the most painful and complex journeys in obstetrics 

a pregnancy affected by long-standing PPROM (preterm premature rupture of membranes).

For weeks, she lived with uncertainty, leaking amniotic fluid day after day, hoping her baby would somehow stay safe. 

But PPROM at very early gestations often carries risks far greater than any mother should bear alone: 

infection, severe bleeding, and life-threatening complications.

When the body can no longer protect the pregnancy, the mother’s safety becomes the priority

not because her baby is any less loved, 

but because her life matters, 

her health matters, 

and her family still needs her.

I want every woman to understand something deeply:

• PPROM is NOT your fault.  

• Early pregnancy loss is NOT a punishment.  

• And choosing to protect your own life is an act of courage, not guilt.

As doctors, we do not simply “manage a case.”  

We hold space for a mother’s grief, her fear, her guilt, her hope… 

and we guide her through a decision no woman ever imagines having to make.

Behind every ultrasound.  

Behind every diagnosis.  

Behind every emergency…  

there is a woman with a story, a dream, and a heart trying to survive the impossible.

To the mothers who have experienced PPROM, miscarriage, or recurrent losses:  

• Your body is not failing you.  
• Your motherhood is not defined by a single outcome.  
• And your grief is real, valid, and deserving of compassion.
• Healing takes time.  
• And no woman should walk that journey alone.
