    A recent trial (ORACLE children study published in Lancet by MRC) suggests ” in those women who did not have PPROM( preterm prelabour rupture of membranes), there may be a small increased risk of functional impairment and cerebral palsy in the children of women who took antibiotics because of early premature labour. ( mark the word not PPROM means only applies when membranes are intact.. for ruptures membranes preterm labour antibiotics still have a role )
