Q: My cousin recommended me to this site. I have a tear in my placenta.

I went to the er today because I couldn't keep anything down. I am six weeks 4 days along. I found out I have a tear in my placenta and Im bleeding inside. I am not bleeding vaginally. I do have some cramping though. I was severly dehydrated and also have a pelvic infection. Has anyone else had this? I am more worried about the placenta. She told me as long as I was not bleeding I should be ok. But I was diagnoised with a "threatened miscarriage". Any help would be great. Also told me the baby had a low heart rate but it was within normal limits. Also HCG was in the 26000's

I had a placenta abruption during my first pregnancy. I started hemorrhaging around week 8 sorry tmi ... I bled through my entire pregnancy and around 12 weeks the clots were so large I was tempted to check them for the fetus. When I first got pg I was smoking ( surprise pregnancy) and my ob thought it was that. I stopped bleeding at the 8th month mark. When my dd was born at 7lbs 7 oz the placenta was nearly twice her size and the Ob didn't know if it regrew or there was a vanishing twin. Good luck.. if your OB hasn't put you on bed rest do it yourself....

A threatened miscarriage is a condition that suggests a miscarriage might take place before the 20th week of pregnancy.Miscarriage occurs in about half of pregnancies with first trimester bleeding.
You may be told to avoid or restrict some forms of activity. Not having sexual intercourse is usually recommended until the warning signs have disappeared.
Avoid alcohol and smoking of course. This can better your chances.Also try to avoid caffeine. As long as you're not bleeding vaginally you should be fine, but just make sure you check regularly with your doc if you have any concerns and don't do any strenuous activity.

A "placental tear" could mean one of two things. An abruption is a process where the placenta releases itself from the wall of the uterus. In an "apparent abruption," the separated portion is at or near the edge of the placenta, and the bleeding is obvious. A "concealed abruption" can occur at a more central location; the bleeding will not be seen, but can build up underneath the placenta. If this type of bleeding continues, eventually, the baby looses the blood supply and the entire placenta may separate.
