What is placental abruption?
A placental abruption occurs when the placenta separates from the uterine wall before delivery, according to Mayo Clinic. It can cause severe bleeding for the mother and deprive the infant of oxygen and nourishment. Although placental abruption is not very common, it is one of the serious pregnancy complications.
The final trimester of pregnancy is when placental abruption is most likely to happen, particularly in the final weeks leading up to delivery. Vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, back pain, uterine tenderness or rigidity, and uterine contractions are among the symptoms of placental abruption.

The degree of vaginal bleeding varies widely and does not always reflect the extent of placental separation from the uterus. Even with a severe placental abruption, there may not be any visible bleeding since the blood may become trapped inside the uterus, per Mayo Clinic.
