RE: Kellian: BIcornate Uterus and Pregnant

[Guest guest]

Thanks Kellian (and sorry to the rest of you for the duplicate - this is the

original post I thought had not gone through). What exactly causes a placental

abruption? Just wondering...I've heard that it can happen at anytime during the

pregnancy. Does it depend on where the placenta is located?

abruption was not related to the BU....so stupid. Anyhow, my first pregnancy

went full term and I had a placental abruption when I was about 2cm

dialated. I went into pre-term labor at 27 weeks with my second. She was

born weighing 1pd 15 oz. I also had a placental abruption with her.

My advice to you is don't ignore warning signs. I had so many with my second

pregnancy but never thought it could be anything. My doctor was so laid back

about my condition that I figured nothing could possibly go wrong.
