Question about PROM

My friend had PROM at around 25 weeks and went on to have her son at 32 weeks. She was on bedrest for that whole time. He is now 19 months old and she is starting to think about TTC #2 in the next few months. However she is a bit concerned about the possibility of this happening again. What is the likelyhood of this? I know that nobody knows why PROM happens and that there is no guarantee that this will or will not happen again. We all have hopes for a long healthy pregnancy. Will drinking RRL tea help to strengthen her uterus during pregnancy? Is there anything that she can do? Thanks for everything!

Vitamin C and Zinc will both help strengthen the sac.

Thanks so much. I will tell her about that. Would the amount in a prenatal suffice or about how much more would be beneficial? I will tell her to ask her HCP about this. Thank you!

Here is a bit more info about that:

It would depend on the amount in the prenatal. I am inclined to think that she could add more Vit. C at least, as the amount in most prenatal vits. is pretty small.

I have also heard vit E and plenty of protein. Just a good overall diet would be best.

Vitamin E is more specific the placenta have a nice and strong implantation, I believe.
