Hi ,

My sister is 7 weeks 4 days preg. She had a slight placental abruption - slight bleeding with clotting. She's been asked to increase her progestrone dosage to thrice a day ( previously twice ) and take bed rest.

Just want to know if anyone has been through this or knows anything about it. Is this somethng that will resolve itself ? What are the chances of this pregnancy continuing considering it's so early in the preganancy ?

Archie or anyone who's knowledgable in this, please do reply - I am worried. archie replied. It would be rather difficult to say it's placenta abrupto.
I suspect that be a placenta previa and low levels of progesterone, combined leading to bleeding.

In either event whether bleeding is due to placenta previa or low progesterone it's not uncommon to experience in first trimester.

your sister's body is in process making more progesterone and will reach to plateau somewhere in second trimester from where bleeding due to low progesterone would be stopped.

However, if she has previa then somewhere in second trimester or in third trimester she will get relief.

Putting on progesterone suppliment is wonderful option, she will be immensly benefited from that. A bed rest and complete hydration (drinking 10-12 glasses of water) would help preventing from dehydration and exertion.

keep me updated.
