Duration of ROM in pregnant mother

The duration of ROM (rupture of membranes) in a pregnant mother can vary greatly depending on individual circumstances. In some cases, the membranes may rupture suddenly, leading to the onset of labor within hours. In other cases, the rupture may be more gradual, with the mother experiencing a slow leak of amniotic fluid over a longer period of time.

It is important for pregnant women to contact their healthcare provider immediately if they experience ROM, as it can increase the risk of infection and other complications. Healthcare providers will monitor the situation closely and determine the best course of action based on the specific circumstances.
