The placenta is an organ that provides nutrients to your baby while youâre pregnant. Its typical location is in the upper part of the uterus, and it normally detaches from the uterine wall after you deliver your baby. However, in the case of placental abruption, the placenta detaches too early. This can cause complications, because your baby may not get enough oxygen or nutrients. You can also experience bleeding thatâs harmful to you and your baby.
The placenta is a structure that develops in the uterus during pregnancy to nourish the growing baby. If the placenta peels away from the inner wall of the uterus before delivery â either partially or completely â it's known as placental abruption. Placental abruption can deprive the baby of oxygen and nutrients and cause heavy bleeding in the mother. Placental abruption often happens suddenly. Left untreated, placental abruption puts both mother and baby in jeopardy. 1  Symptoms.
