  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/placental-abruption/symptoms-causes/syc-20376458

  Placental abruption is most likely to occur in the last trimester of pregnancy, especially in the last few weeks before birth. Signs and symptoms of placental abruption include: […] Abdominal pain and back pain often begin suddenly. The amount of vaginal bleeding can vary greatly, and doesn’t necessarily indicate how much of the placenta has separated from the uterus. It’s possible for the blood to become trapped inside the uterus, so even with a severe placental abruption, there might be no visible bleeding. […] In some cases, placental abruption develops slowly (chronic abruption), which can cause light, intermittent vaginal bleeding. Your baby might not grow as quickly as expected, and you might have low amniotic fluid or other complications. […] Placental abruption often happens suddenly. Left untreated, it endangers both the mother and the baby.

  Placental abruption can happen suddenly or slowly over a period of time. The following are symptoms or signs of placental abruption: […] Vaginal bleeding, although bleeding is not always visible. Tenderness. Problems with the baby’s heart rate. Baby growth is less than expected. […] Abdominal pain or back pain. Quick contractions in the uterus. A low amount of amniotic fluid. […] Placental abruption occurs in about 1% of pregnancies, according to researchers from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. It usually occurs in the third trimester but may be seen anytime after 20 weeks of pregnancy until the end of term. […] Treatment depends upon the seriousness of the abruption, how far along the pregnancy is, and the amount of distress for the fetus. […] A moderate to severe placental abruption is a medical emergency. Generally, you’ll need to give birth immediately, and your chances of requiring a C-section are increased. If you lose a lot of blood, you’ll also need a transfusion. If the heavy bleeding is uncontrollable, you may need a hysterectomy, which entirely removes the uterus. While the hysterectomy will prevent death, you’ll be unable to have children in the future.

• #10 Placental abruption

  https://www.babycentre.co.uk/a1024974/placental-abruption

  Placental abruption happens when the placenta starts to come away from the wall of your womb (uterus) before your baby is born. This can cause heavy vaginal bleeding. Sometimes the separation happens underneath the placenta, so the blood can’t escape. These „concealed” placental abruptions are diagnosed because of other symptoms, such as a pain in your belly. Vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom. Eighty per cent of women with placental abruption have vaginal bleeding. You may have a small amount or a sudden gush. It may be fresh blood that’s bright red, or old blood that’s darker. Pain in your belly and back is the second most common symptom. Pain and tenderness is noticed by 70 per cent of women. Sometimes, the blood stays in the womb, behind the placenta. So you may not see any bleeding, but the pooling blood makes you sore. Some mums describe the pain of a small abruption as being like a bad bruise on an area of their bump. Placental abruption can cause unusual contractions. It can be hard to know what a normal contraction is, especially if this is your first baby. Your bump may feel tense and firm. Very painful contractions may come every few minutes, instead of being more evenly spaced. Your bump may continue to hurt between contractions, like you’re having a painful contraction that doesn’t end. Your baby may not move around as much as before. Call your midwife, doctor, or the delivery suite of your hospital immediately if you have any symptoms of placental abruption. It’s bound to be frightening if you’re diagnosed with placental abruption. But although it’s a serious condition, it doesn’t always warrant immediate treatment. Your doctor will monitor you and your baby carefully, and weigh up the best care, depending on how near to your due date you are, how severe the bleeding is, and whether there are signs that your baby is in distress. If you have a suspected abruption but the bleeding stops and you and your baby are doing well, you may be able to go home. However, you will need to go straight back to hospital if you have any further bleeding, contractions or abdominal pain, or if your baby is moving around less. If symptoms are getting worse, or there are signs that your baby is distressed, then your doctor may recommend an assisted birth or caesarean. Occasionally, some mums and babies become very ill as a result of placental abruption. If you have lost a lot of blood your doctor will ensure you receive oxygen, extra fluids and a blood transfusion. In the most severe cases, a baby may not survive the trauma of placental abruption. Rest assured it’s very rare for a baby to be stillborn or die shortly after birth. It’s very unlikely that your life, or your baby’s life, will be in danger because of placental abruption.

  Most of the time, you’ll see some blood during a placental abruption. But if the abruption is concealed, the blood will be trapped behind the placenta. In that case, there will be no bleeding. […] This can vary depending on the severity of your symptoms and how far along you are in your pregnancy. You can expect for your healthcare provider to monitor you closely and often. Watch for any changes in symptoms and discuss them with your provider immediately. […] The two factors that affect survival rate are gestational age at birth and the severity of the abruption. Early detection, close monitoring and quick treatment can help reduce complications. If a severe abruption occurs, there’s about a 15% chance it’ll end in fetal death.

  Placental abruption means the placenta has detached from the wall of the uterus, either partly or totally. This can cause bleeding in the mother and may interfere with the babys supply of oxygen and nutrients. […] Without prompt medical treatment, a severe case of placental abruption can have dire consequences for the mother and her unborn child, including death. […] Some of the symptoms and signs of moderate to severe placental abruption include: Bleeding, most commonly noticed when the woman starts bleeding from the vagina, Continuous abdominal pain, Continuous lower back pain, Painful abdomen (belly) when touched, Tender and hard uterus, Very frequent uterine contractions, Fetal distress for example, abnormal heart rhythm. […] In some cases, bleeding may occur but the blood may clot between the placenta and the wall of the uterus, so vaginal bleeding may be scanty or even non-existent. This is known as a retroplacental clot. […] Complications in severe cases can include: Decreased oxygen to the baby, which could lead to brain damage, Stillbirth, Maternal blood loss leading to shock, Emergency hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) if the bleeding cannot be controlled, Maternal death from severe blood loss.

  Placental abruption is a serious condition in which the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus before birth. It can separate partially or completely. If this happens, your baby may not get enough oxygen and nutrients in the womb. You also may have pain and serious bleeding. […] The main symptom of placental abruption is vaginal bleeding. You also may have pain, contractions, discomfort and tenderness or sudden, ongoing belly or back pain. Sometimes, these symptoms may happen without vaginal bleeding because the blood is trapped behind the placenta. If you have any of these symptoms, call your health care provider and go to the hospital right away. […] If you have a mild abruption at 24 to 34 weeks of pregnancy, you need careful monitoring in the hospital. If tests show that you and your baby are doing well, your provider may give you treatment to try to keep you pregnant for as long as possible. Your provider may want you to stay in the hospital until you give birth. If the bleeding stops, you may be able to go home. […] If you have a moderate to severe abruption, you are in a medical emergency and usually need to give birth right away.

[…] May present with vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain (usually continuous), uterine contractions, shock or fetal distress. […] A tense, tender uterus with a 'woody’ feel on abdominal examination suggests a significant abruption.

  Placental abruption typically presents with painful vaginal bleeding (bleeding may not be visible if it is concealed). If the woman is in labour, inquire about pain between contractions. […] On examination, the uterus may be woody (tense all of the time) and painful on palpation. […] If major bleeding is suspected, resuscitate and perform investigations simultaneously. […] Any woman presenting with a significant antepartum haemorrhage should be resuscitated using an ABCDE approach. Do not delay maternal resuscitation in order to determine fetal viability. […] The ongoing management of placental abruption is dependent on the health of the fetus.

  Placental abruption can be complete or partial and marginal or central. […] Key diagnostic factors: vaginal bleeding (although about 20% of cases have no bleeding), uterine tenderness, rapid contractions, abdominal pain, fetal heart rate abnormalities. […] The clinical implications of a placental abruption vary based on the extent of the separation and the location of the separation. […] Classification of 0 or 1 is usually associated with a partial, marginal separation, whereas, classification of 2 or 3 is associated with complete or central separation.

  Placental abruption is the separation of the normally located placenta before delivery of the fetus. It may be concealed or overt. […] Frequently presents as vaginal bleeding associated with abdominal pain and contractions in the second half of pregnancy. […] Associated with increased perinatal mortality and morbidity. Also a cause of significant maternal morbidity. […] Diagnosis is made clinically. Some ultrasound features may be helpful. Other tests are, for the most part, unreliable. […] Management and outcome depend on the gestational age, the degree of separation, and the maternal and fetal status. […] Key diagnostic factors include vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, uterine contractions, and uterine tenderness. […] Other diagnostic factors may include lower back pain and fetal death.

  External bleeding is noted in approximately 80% of patients. […] When the hemorrhage is concealed, as it may be in 20% of patients, the diagnosis of placental abruption may be delayed, although an astute obstetrician will pursue clinical signs and symptoms until a satisfactory diagnosis is reached and the mother and fetus are treated appropriately. […] Maternal hemodynamic status, coagulation profile, and fetal condition are important clinical parameters in the assessment of severity. […] This grading system may be helpful in establishing a therapeutic plan, but caution should be used because it is important to remember that placental abruption is a dynamic process and maternal-fetal status can change quickly.

  Placental abruption is the premature detachment of the placenta from the wall of the uterus at 20 weeks or more of pregnancy. […] Women may have abdominal pain and tenderness and vaginal bleeding and may go into shock. […] Symptoms of placental abruption depend on the degree of detachment and the amount of blood lost (which may be massive). […] Symptoms may include sudden continuous or crampy abdominal pain, tenderness when the abdomen is gently pressed, and dangerously low blood pressure (shock). Some women have slight or no symptoms. […] The uterus bleeds from the site where the placenta has detached. […] When the placenta detaches, the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus may be reduced. If detachment occurs suddenly and greatly reduces the oxygen supply, the fetus may die.

  Placental abruption means the placenta has detached from the wall of the uterus, either partly or totally. This can cause bleeding in the mother and may interfere with the babys supply of oxygen and nutrients. […] Without prompt medical treatment, a severe case of placental abruption can have dire consequences for the mother and her unborn child, including death. […] Some of the symptoms and signs of moderate to severe placental abruption include: Bleeding, most commonly noticed when the woman starts bleeding from the vagina, Continuous abdominal pain, Continuous lower back pain, Painful abdomen (belly) when touched, Tender and hard uterus, Very frequent uterine contractions, Fetal distress for example, abnormal heart rhythm. […] In some cases, bleeding may occur but the blood may clot between the placenta and the wall of the uterus, so vaginal bleeding may be scanty or even non-existent. This is known as a retroplacental clot. […] Complications in severe cases can include: Decreased oxygen to the baby, which could lead to brain damage, Stillbirth, Maternal blood loss leading to shock, Emergency hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) if the bleeding cannot be controlled, Maternal death from severe blood loss.

  Placental abruption (or abruptio placentae) refers to a premature separation of the normally implanted placenta after the 20th week of gestation and before the 3rd stage of labor. It is a potentially fatal complication of pregnancy and a significant cause of third-trimester bleeding/antepartum hemorrhage. […] Patients typically present with painful vaginal bleeding with „board-like” abdominal tone. Bleeding can occasionally be 'concealed’ as in a retroplacental hemorrhage. […] Other features include: uterine contractions and irritability, lumbar pain, maternal/ fetal compromise secondary to exsanguination.

It’s possible for the blood to become trapped inside the uterus, so even with a severe placental abruption, there might be no visible bleeding. […] In some cases, placental abruption develops slowly (chronic abruption), which can cause light, intermittent vaginal bleeding. Your baby might not grow as quickly as expected, and you might have low amniotic fluid or other complications. […] Placental abruption often happens suddenly. Left untreated, it endangers both the mother and the baby.

  Placental abruption occurs when the placenta pulls away from the wall of your uterus before your baby is born. Here’s how to spot the signs of this serious pregnancy complication. A placental abruption is a serious condition in which the placenta separates from your uterus before your baby is born. It can separate partially (partial placental abruption) or completely (complete placental abruption). This can happen before or during labor. The condition can deprive your baby of oxygen and nutrients and cause severe bleeding that can be dangerous to you both. A placental abruption also increases the risk that your baby will have growth problems (if the abruption is small and goes unnoticed), be born prematurely, or be stillborn. Placental abruption happens in about one in 100 pregnancies. It’s most common in the third trimester but can happen any time after 20 weeks. Call your doctor or midwife immediately if you have any of these signs that can indicate placental abruption: Vaginal bleeding or spotting, or if your water breaks and the fluid is bloody. In most cases of placental abruption, you’ll have some vaginal bleeding, ranging from a small amount to an obvious and sudden gush. Sometimes, though, the blood stays in the uterus behind the placenta, so you might not see any bleeding at all. Cramping, uterine tenderness, abdominal pain, or back pain. Frequent contractions or a contraction that doesn’t end. In close to a quarter of cases, an abruption will cause the woman to go into labor prematurely. Your baby isn’t moving as much as before. Heavy bleeding Call 911 if you’re bleeding heavily or have any signs of shock if you feel weak, faint, pale, sweaty, or disoriented, or your heart is pounding. If you have any signs of a placental abruption, you’ll get a complete evaluation at the hospital, including a physical exam, fetal heart rate monitoring, and an ultrasound. If you’re near your due date, you’ll need to deliver your baby right away, even if the abruption is minor, because the placenta could separate further at any time. If you’re bleeding heavily or there are signs the baby isn’t getting enough oxygen, you’ll have a C-section. However, if you have a small amount of bleeding that your provider suspects is from a minor abruption, and you and your baby are doing fine, you may be allowed to labor, as long as you’re at a hospital where an emergency C-section can be done at the first sign of trouble. You may be given corticosteroids to speed the development of your baby’s lungs and to prevent certain other problems related to prematurity. You’ll stay in the hospital typically for a few days and be monitored closely so your medical team can get your baby out at the first sign of trouble.
