Ciara Curran, founder of Little heartbeats says
"I see this research as crucial for advancing our understanding of PPROM.
This will help women facing early PPROM to make the best decisions for them, and also hopefully help us secure more funding for research about how to improve outcomes.
I promised my baby daughter, Sinead, I would change things to improve care for women, in her memory and it feels that after 14 years, it is starting to become a reality"

Funded by Wellbeing of Women in partnership with Little Heartbeats
