Placenta Abruptio

Placenta abruptio is where the placenta separates from the uterus prematurely. There is an increase risk in hemorrhaging during pregnancy and during childbirth. Women are generally put on bed rest and restriction of physical activities if the separation is small. If the separation is more severe, a blood transfusion (given blood) may be necessary. Sometimes a cesarean may need to be performed immediately.

Women at Increased Risk for Placenta Abruptio:

This calculator predicts ovulation dates based on the date of your last period and the length of your menstrual cycle. It provides approximate dates only. Having intercourse during the few days before ovulation will give you the best chance of becoming pregnant. Since sperm can survive for several days, keep in mind that these are not the only days to become pregnant.

Remember: If your periods are irregular, this calculator is not a good way to predict your ovulation dates. Speak to your doctor about other ways to help you identify when you can conceive.
