It is known that the placenta transports oxygen and food from the mother through the blood circulation to the fetus and carries the pings of the fetus to the mother for removal, so Dr. George Yoakim Consultant, Obstetrics and Gynecology explains, saying that the most important of these problems is the separation of the placenta from the uterine wall before birth, which It leads to a decrease in the amount of oxygen carried in the blood to the fetus, and this is considered one of the most important causes of death of the fetus.
George continues saying that the placenta may be partially separated and includes part of the placenta or entirely and includes all parts of the placenta, and lead to bleeding and blood may clot and pressure the child''s head and cause him serious problems, and there are a number of reasons for the separation of the placenta, including smoking and women over the age of forty Repeated pregnancy, and the separation of the placenta often accompanies an increase in blood pressure and an explosion in the water bag surrounding the fetus before the birth date.
There are a number of symptoms are simple or severe vaginal bleeding with lower abdomen pain and a number of rapid contractions of the uterus, so it is necessary to exclude other causes that cause vaginal bleeding with ultrasound to see the separation of the placenta. As for the treatment, it is to assess the state of the fetus’s heart. The heart is weak or non-existent, this means problems to the fetus, and the mother must be hospitalized. After birth, the woman who suffers from the separation of the placenta in the first pregnancy may repeat this in the next times, and in normal childbirth the placenta is present in the upper uterus, but in this case the placenta is present In the lower uterus, the opening of the cervix is covered, and this condition is very dangerous for the mother and fetus, as it can cause severe bleeding during childbirth.
