placenta abruption!?!

Question

I had a pretty bad fall this morning, I went to the hospital, and l&d watched me for 4 hours to make sure I wasn't having any contraction it any bleeding. They did a ultrasound, baby looks great. But Dr says I'm at risk for placenta abruption. I'm only 28 weeks, I was already a high risk for preterm labor. Has anyone had a bad fall but go on to having a full term labor with no complications?

Answer

I didn’t fall or anything I had a complete placenta abruption at 37w while I was being induced due to type 1 diabetes. I had weekly ultrasounds from 30w on to specifically check on my placenta. Everything always came back flawless. Well while I was being induced I had contractions about 30 seconds apart for 12 hours before they decided to relocate my contraction monitor. They broke my water and blood gushed everywhere. We had a complete abruption caused by labor my daughter was bleeding to death inside of me and had to be brought back twice after she was born. Spent 2 weeks in the NICU unfortunately has a hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (brain injury that has effects on motor development- thank god that’s it). They didn’t have a scientific explanation of why my daughter survived. I never once had any bleeding or spotting in my pregnancy. 
I’ve heard so many positive outcomes for women who have small tears and it not affecting them just putting them on bed rest. Best of luck to you and your baby I’m sure you guys will be fine. What happened to me was extremely rare.

Answer

I had a placental abruption with my 4th pregnancy. I was bleeding and put on temporary bed rest. He’s now almost 14.
