 Anatomy & Physiology
(This will show a drawing of the organ affected related to the diagnosis of the patient.)

Uterus - strong muscular sac that fetus can develop in.

-expulsion during childbirth.
Placenta - an organ that develops in your uterus.
-responsible for producing hormones.
Umbilical Cord - sometimes called the baby's "supply
line" because it carries the baby's blood back & forth, between the baby and the placenta.
Cervix - a passage of sperm into the uterus and the exit of menstrual blood.
Amniotic fluid - a sac that holds the baby.
Vagina - organ of intercourse, birth canal.

The rupture of fetal membranes (water breaks) before the beginning of labor is considered a complication of pregnancy
known as premature rupture of membranes. This can happen at any gestational age, even full term. Despite what movies may
depict, this sudden gush or steady trickle of fluid only occurs in about 10% of term pregnancies and 4% of preterm pregnancies.
When the
membranes rupture prior to 37 weeks gestation, it is considered preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Regardless of
gestational age, when the membranes rupture, the protective barrier between the vagina and the fetus is lost and increases the risk
of maternal and fetal infection. There is no specific cause, but there are many factors that may increase the risk of PROM. Maternal
or intra-amniotic infection and chronic disease, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, direct abdominal trauma, nutritional
deficiencies, smoking and placenta abruption all increase the risk of PROM. Multiple pregnancy (twins or more) and a history of
previous PROM also indicate an increased risk.
1. PROM is associated with malpresentation, possible weak areas in the amnion and chorion, subclinical infection, and,
possibly, incompetent cervix.
2. Basic and effective defense against the fetus contracting an infection is lost and the risk of ascending intrauterine infection,
known as chorioamnionitis, is increased.
3. The leading cause of death associated with PROM is infection.
4. When the latent period (time between rupture of membranes and onset of labor) is less than 24 hours, the risk of infection
is low.
