Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Placental Abruption?
This is a condition during pregnancy where the placenta separates from the uterus before the fetus is born. Since the placenta is rich in blood supply and provides oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, separation can result in significant vaginal bleeding and cut off oxygen supply to the fetus, endangering both mother and child. Common causes include abdominal trauma in pregnancy such as being in a motor vehicle accident or falling on your abdomen. Other causes are also possible. Symptoms typically include vaginal bleeding and abdominal or pelvic pain similar to contractions. Any such concerns in pregnancy should seek emergency care.
Typical Symptoms of Placental Abruption
- Stomach feels constantly hard and stiff like a board
- Currently pregnant
- Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause
- Feel like water has broken/amniotic fluid is coming out
- Feel my child is moving less. (Decreased fetal movements)
- Labor-like pain (repeated tummy/abdominal pain) in cycles of 10 minutes or less
- Pulse feels fast (25+ beats in 15 sec)
- Abdominal pain
Diagnostic Questions for Placental Abruption
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Is your stomach always hard and stiff like a board?
- Are you pregnant?
- Have you experienced vaginal bleeding or discharge outside of your periods or after menopause?
- Do you feel like your water has broken?
- Is your child moving less?
Treatment of Placental Abruption

Depending on the amount of bleeding, The gynecologist/obstetrician may suggest delivering your child early, either through a normal vaginal delivery or a Cesarean section.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
