What is placental abruption?

You've heard about placental abruption and wonder if it's dangerous for your pregnancy and your baby? It depends on when it happens.

  • With placental abruption, the placenta is no longer attached to the walls of the uterus.
  • This is a completely natural phenomenon that occurs after you give birth.
  • However, it is more dangerous if it occurs during pregnancy, especially during the third month.
  • Symptoms of placental abruption include blood loss, severe pain in the abdomen, contractions, and a hardening belly.
  • If this happens to you, see a doctor immediately.

Over the weekend I found out that I have a small placenta abruption. He’s still moving around a lot as usual. Did any one one else go through this? How was it for you?

Yep. Just found out at almost 35 weeks. The bleeding irritates my uterus so I started contracting. Didn't change dilation though and baby isn't in distress.

I’m super nervous.. my first birth I had my son at 28 weeks due to a placental abruption. I’m currently pregnant with my 2nd and due February 27, 2024. I’ve been experiencing some stinging pain in the crotch area. No spotting just that pain. Has anyone ever experienced this?

I went to the specialist yesterday and was advised that my placenta is slowly separating from my uterus ( placenta abruption) Ultimately, I’m having my son early at some point… I just don’t know if he’d ever come home with me. I’m devastated, I’ve lost a similarly in 2016. #placentaabrution #terrifed #prayforus

Hi everyone, I had a second trimester miscarriage on May 31st due to a placental abruption. Worst day of my life. My fiance and I are ttc again. I'm so nervous about being pregnant again because it was not an easy pregnancy, but we really want our rainbow 🌈 we don't have any other children. I think im pregnant again because I have the same sore throat for days that I had last time among other symptoms. Won't be able to test for about a week or so. Please pray for me 🫶🙏

He came earlier than expected, but he's here! Yesterday, while at work, I felt a gush come down, I thought it was my water breaking, but it was blood clots.... called nurse advice, and they say, "Go to labor and delivery immediately!" My placenta detached from womb, causing placenta abruption... Thanking Goodness for the emergency delivery staff at GWU in DC. THEY ARE HEAVEN SENT 🙏🏾❤️

This pregnancy has been a roller coaster for sure so after my wonderful day yesterday ended up in the ER with a sever hemorrhage and then saying I have a placenta abruption. Baby looked fine. Just facing more tests at this point. Any moms have had this before?

Sorry you have to go through this, but I also had a placenta abruption at 28 weeks unfortunately I end up losing my baby back in 2019 because I didn't catch it in time. Praying for you and the little one 🙏🏾

Yeah, I'm healing from large hemorrhage myself. My dr basically put me on bedrest. After a month it's almost healed. Theyll tell you, No sex or orgasms as it causes contractions.
