What are the chances of delivering a healthy baby if i have prom?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
98 %: Term babies do well if the water breaks before labor starts. If the water breaks prematurely, that is a different answer. Before 24 weeks, about 21% survive. Between 24-26 weeks, 50-70% survive. As gestational age increases, so do survival rates. The risks to the baby are mainly due to the prematurity; like respiratory distress, neonatal infections, bleeding in the baby's brain.

PROM: Prom puts the baby at risk for infection. If infection is manged soon after birth of baby, the baby is normal. Also, prom or membrane leak early-- leads to oligo hydramnios, that can cause some damage to lungs development of baby.
