What happens if your water breaks too early in pregnancy? In this episode of Pregnancy Matters, host Dr. Hillary Hosier is joined by maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. Sarah Osmundson to discuss preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) after viability. They explain what PPROM is, the symptoms to watch for, how it's diagnosed, and what treatment and monitoring may look like in the hospital. They also discuss the factors that guide decisions about continuing the pregnancy versus delivery, potential risks for both the pregnant person and baby, and ways families can prepare for what can be an unexpected and emotional experience. Whether you've been diagnosed with PPROM, are supporting a loved one, or simply want to better understand this pregnancy complication, this episode provides expert, evidence-based guidance to help you navigate the journey with confidence.
