Who is this surgery for?
- Vaginal Bleeding: Often with abdominal pain, tenderness, or back pain in the second or third trimester.
- Uterine Tenderness or Rigidity: The uterus may feel hard and painful to the touch.
- Fetal Distress: Abnormalities in the baby's heart rate pattern detected on monitoring.
- Preterm Labor: Contractions may be triggered by the abruption.
- Maternal Shock: Signs like rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, and pallor due to significant blood loss.
How to prepare
- Emergency Assessment: Immediate evaluation in a hospital's labor and delivery unit or emergency room.
- Monitoring: Continuous fetal heart rate monitoring and tracking of maternal vital signs.
- Diagnostic Tests: Ultrasound to assess placental location and fetal well-being, though it may not always show the abruption.
- Blood Work: Blood tests to check hemoglobin, platelet count, and clotting factors.
- Intravenous (IV) Access: Placement of one or more large-bore IV lines for fluid and possible blood transfusion.
Risks & possible complications
- For the Baby: Preterm birth, low birth weight, oxygen deprivation (which can lead to brain injury), and stillbirth.
- For the Mother: Severe hemorrhage (postpartum hemorrhage), need for blood transfusion, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC - a serious clotting disorder), kidney failure, and in rare cases, hysterectomy if bleeding cannot be controlled.
- Delivery Risks: Increased likelihood of requiring an emergency cesarean section.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Post-Delivery Monitoring: Close observation in the hospital for continued bleeding and recovery from blood loss.
- Pain Management: Medication for post-delivery pain, especially after a cesarean section.
- Physical Recovery: Rest is crucial. Recovery time depends on the severity of the abruption and the mode of delivery (vaginal or cesarean).
- Emotional Support: Counseling may be recommended due to the traumatic nature of the event.
- Follow-up Care: Postpartum check-ups to ensure physical recovery and discuss future pregnancy risks, as having one abruption increases the risk in subsequent pregnancies.

Rohan Roy, a 32-year-old software engineer...
Rohan Roy, a 32-year-old software engineer and first-time father-to-be, was anxiously awaiting the birth of his daughter. His wife, Priya, was 34 weeks pregnant. Their excitement turned to terror when Priya suddenly experienced severe, constant abdominal pain and began bleeding heavily at home. Rohan rushed her to the hospital. An ultrasound confirmed a significant placental abruption; the placenta had partially separated from the uterine wall, threatening the oxygen supply to the baby. The obstetrician recommended an immediate emergency Caesarean section to save both lives. In the operating room, time felt suspended for Rohan. The procedure was swift, and their daughter was delivered, needing brief NICU support for breathing. Priya required a blood transfusion due to significant blood loss. Post-procedure, Priya recovered physically over several weeks, while their daughter thrived in the NICU, growing stronger each day. Emotionally, Rohan was shattered by the sudden brush with mortality, transitioning from sheer panic to profound gratitude. The experience forged an even deeper bond in their family, though he remained anxious about future pregnancies.
