Pprom water bag leak at 15 week
Hi, just want to share anyone had a leak so early in pregnancy and went on to have a smooth pregnancy. Is anyone on bedrest also? Care to share more. Anxious and upset.

Oh mama, sending you so much strength right now, this must be such a scary and uncertain time for you. From what I've generally heard, PPROM at 15 weeks is really serious and the path forward can go quite a few different ways, some mums do manage to extend the pregnancy significantly with close monitoring, while others unfortunately deliver within a week of the leak, so the range of outcomes is wide and honestly hard to predict. One thing that came up quite a bit is that bedrest sounds like the obvious thing to do, but apparently there isn't strong evidence it actually prolongs things, and being completely immobile for a long time can bring its own problems for your body, so it's worth having a very honest conversation with your O&G about what level of activity is actually recommended for your specific situation. The infection risk is also something to keep a close eye on, since once the membranes are open, bacteria can travel up, so monitoring for any signs of fever or changes in discharge is really important. At 15 weeks, the baby is still making amniotic fluid, so some do partially replenish, but it really does depend on how much is leaking and how your body responds, please do lean heavily on your doctor or specialist to guide you, because every case genuinely differs and they'll know your situation best.
