Placenta abruption is a major cause for bleeding in late pregnancy. It happens when the placenta peels away from the uterus with associated bleeding between the separated placenta and the uterus. Either the blood may accumulate in the uterus or there may be vaginal bleeding. Other signs include spasms of the uterus, variations in the foetal heartbeat or disappearance of the foetal heart tones. The mother may also display symptoms of shock due to blood loss like sweating, pallor, light-headedness, clammy skin, etc. In extreme cases, the foetus might die and the mother may go into deep shock because of the blood loss. On the other hand, there may be no vaginal bleeding, the foetal heart rate may remain normal, and the only symptom will be uterine pains. There is no known cause for this condition. It occurs in less than 1% of all pregnancies.

yes, right, this condition is rare but very hazardous for both mother and baby, there are no preventions but there are treatments,,we had a patient who experienced this condition, but unfortunately, her baby died inside the womb bec. of the premature separation of the placenta, that was 8 months of her gestation, it doesn't even cross her mind that this condition will be experienced by her bec. she had a normal delivery before. she undegone tubal ligation, and she can never had a baby anymore..

i'm about 29 or more weeks into my pregnancy. i was told that my placenta was in a low lying position when my first ultrasound was done. i didn't know that much about the cause of it, but i've been doing some research and it relaxes me a bit to hear that the placenta may move in an upward position later into the pregnancy. i just hope and pray that it does because i'm scared to go in hemmorrage and have a c-section done. also i hope in the near future that there will be some type of medication to move the placenta into the position it's suppose to be.

i was detected with low lying placenta in the 12th week when a nt scan was done. i had a bleeding the next day after nt scan so i was asked to be on complete bed rest till 22nd week with a hope that placenta would move up. i had another episode of bleeding again in the 23rd week when i was given a little freedom to move around inside house. i decided to remain on bed all 24 hrs without any movement. however i gave birth to a premature baby in the 34th week because of water break. it was quite a tough experience for me as i had to be on bed for full 5 months withtou any movements. i could not even sit and have my breakfast or lunchs or dinners. i only hope no one ever gets to experience such tough pregnancies. now that i see my baby growing, i am able to erase away all tough times i had before.

i have been through this trauma of losing my baby to palacental abruptio in my first pregnancy. initially i did have a low lying placenta but it had moved to anterior position which i think is normal. my blood pressure and all other things were normal and i was all set for a normal delivery.i had prolonged labour pains so doc decided to break my water bag and found baby had passed meconeium. somehow from nowhere a lobe of the placenta got detatched and came out before the c section could be performed. because of this 70% of the oxygen and blood supply to the brain stopped which choked the baby. she was immediately taken to the nicu and put on life support but did not respond to any stimuli even after supplying blood. my baby girl survived for just 14 hours after delivery. i hope and pray that no women has to go through this terrible experience. im just praying that it does not happen again in my second pregnancy.
