Q

PROM

A

PREMATURE RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES – rupture of the amniotic sac before the onset of true labor, regardless of the length of gestation. PROM may be a normal occurrence that precedes term birth at 38 weeks or later, even if labor induction is needed to initiate labor.

Q

PPROM

A

PRETERM PREMATURE RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES – membranes ruptured earlier than the 37th week of gestation, with or without contractions. PPROM is often associated with preterm labor, with the greatest risks from preterm birth occurring before completing 34 weeks of gestation.

Q

AROM

A

ARTIFICIAL RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES (amniotomy) - artificial rupture of the amniotic sac; is often done in conjunction with induction or stimulation of labor or to permit internal electronic fetal monitoring. An amnihook is commonly used to perforate the amniotic sac. Although a common procedure, amniotomy implies a commitment to delivery.
