My wife is currently 24 weeks
pregnant (LMP: 31 Dec 2025). Until around 23 weeks, all scans including the previous anomaly scan were reported as normal.
At 23–24 weeks, she developed vaginal bleeding and was diagnosed with:
- Confirmed PPROM (Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes)
- Severe oligohydramnios/anhydramnios (AFI initially almost nil, later 4 cm, currently 3.2 cm)
- Placenta was initially reported low-lying; latest scan shows placental edge 2.37 cm from the internal os

- Fetal movements are good
- No maternal fever, chills, or foul-smelling discharge
