PLACENTAL ABRUPTION
The placenta attaches to the wall of the uterus (womb) and supplies the baby with food and oxygen through the umbilical cord.
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 serious bleeding.
Normally, the placenta grows onto the upper part of the uterus and stays there until your baby is born. During the last stage of labor, the placenta separates from the uterus, and your contractions help push it into the vagina (birth canal). This is also called afterbirth.
About 1 in 100 pregnant women (1 percent) have placental abruption. It usually happens in the third trimester, but it can happen any time after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Mild cases may cause few problems. An abruption is mild if only a very small part of the placenta separates from the uterus wall. A mild abruption usually isn’t dangerous.
If you have severe placental abruption (greater separation between the placenta and the uterus), your baby is at higher risk for:
Growth problems
Premature birth – a birth that happens too early, before 37 weeks of pregnancy
Stillbirth – when a baby dies in the womb after 20 weeks of pregnancy
Placental abruption is related to about 1 in 10 premature births (10 percent). Premature babies (born before 37 weeks of pregnancy) are more likely than babies born later to have health problems during the first weeks of life, lasting disabilities, and even death.
