%X In certain circumstances such as premature rupture of membranes (PROM) or preterm labor is usually recommended hospital bed rest. But if this is prolonged, may result from negative consequences both physically and emotionally. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a specific exercise program on physical self-concept and levels of anxiety and depression in a group of pregnant women diagnosed with uncomplicated PROM. A clinical trial was performed on a sample of 50 women diagnosed with uncomplicated RPM at week 32-33 of gestation. In the intervention group performed aerobic exercise routine specifically designed for later (week 34 of gestation) to compare their levels of physical self and emotional discomfort (anxiety and depression) with a control group with similar characteristics. Results of this investigation show that, in pregnant women uncomplicated diagnostic PROM, a specific exercise program improves physical self-concept and levels of anxiety and depression (p <0.05). Despite recommended further research in this field, does not seem justified the conservative management of complete rest is usually performed in these patients.
