abruptio placentae

[momikatie]

Abruptio placenta is known as the premature separation of the placenta from the uterus. It manifested with bleeding, uterine contractions & fetal distress. Its clinical classifications are:

Class 0 - asymptomatic ( no symptoms )
- made retrospectively by finding a depressed area on a delivered placenta
Class 1 - mild
- no vaginal bleeding to mild vaginal bleeding
- no fetal distress
Class 2 - moderate
- no vaginal bleeding to moderate vaginal bleeding
- fetal distress
Class 3 - severe
- no vaginal bleeding to heavy vaginal bleeding
- fetal death


So as you see this is a very serious condition. Has anyone of you ever experienced this? What did you do to cope up with this?

I have heard of this but thankfully didn't experience it myself. However, I'm interested to hear what those who have expeienced it have to say.
