Emotional Support for Women Experiencing PPROM
Preterm Prelabour Rupture of the Membranes is a pregnancy complication affecting 3% of all pregnancies. Outcomes for both the mother and baby are variable including: preterm delivery, fetal infection, cord prolapse, abruption as well as maternal sepsis and even maternal death. The outcomes are not only variable but the stress and uncertainty can be over a protracted period of time. This is a pilot study that aims to provide personalised psychological intervention at the time of PPROM based on Cognitive Behavioural Principles to see whether this improves psychological outcomes for women.
