Brief Summary

Prelabour rupture of membrane is defined as rupture of membranes prior to the onset of labour. Approximately 8% of pregnant women at term experience PROM, but the decision as to how term PROM should be managed clinically remains controversial, and there is wide variation in practice with no clear consensus on what constitutes optimal treatment. Although for the majority of women labour will start spontaneously within 24 hours following term PROM, up to 4%of women will not experience spontaneous onset of labour within seven days.
