Experienced Ohio PROM and PPROM Lawyer
Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is a condition occurring in pregnancy in which the membranes in the amniotic sac and chorion rupture more than one hour before the onset of labor. When rupture occurs before 37 weeks gestation, the condition is known as pre-term premature rupture of membranes (or PPROM).
Both conditions can negatively affect the newborn, but PPROM is significantly more dangerous. It is often caused by infection and, when it occurs, it is necessary that the mother receives treatment to avoid possible harm to the child. Doctors who fail to take appropriate action after PPROM may be putting infants' lives in jeopardy. They may also be committing medical malpractice.
