Could taking drugs cause placenta separation?
Yes, using cocaine in particular can cause the placenta to separate from the uterus during pregnancy (placental abruption).
Can you have second baby at 33 when your other pregnancy was a placenta abruption Would they take it for my benefit?
Yes you can have another baby, it depends on what they think caused the abruptio placenta. Cocaine and trauma can both cause this, but sometimes there is no explanation. The risk is greater if the placenta is covering the opening to the uterus, placenta previa.
Why would a placenta not separate entirely?
sometimes a placenta can have abnormal growth and attachment to the uterus (the growth can penetrate deeply into the muscle of the uterus) and this can cause the placenta to stay attached. This is not the norm. Usually a placenta is superficially attached to the muscle of the uterus and easily detaches after a baby is born
What is fundal posterior placental position?
A fundal posterior position of the placenta simply means that the placenta is resting at the back of the uterus. Ultrasounds should be taken to ensure that the placenta is not laying low, which can cause placenta previa.
Can previous ovarian cyst surgery cause low line placenta in pregnancy later?
Not unless there is significant scarring in the uterus. A low lying placenta is often found during the second trimester - as the uterus expands in the third trimester, the placenta will migrate higher, away from the cervix.
Placenta delivery?
The placenta provides the baby with nutrients and oxygen from the mother and carries away fetal waste. Following delivery, the uterus naturally contracts to push the placenta out of the uterus. In addition, the delivering practitioner will assist by gently pressing the abdomen to work the placenta free of the uterus.Delivery of the placenta is typically painless and takes approximately 15 minutes.Once the placenta is delivered, it is examined to see if the placental tissue is healthy and in one piece. At times, the placenta can break off and cause bleeding in the uterus. The placenta is commonly referred to as the afterbirth. Its successful delivery signals the end of the final stage of childbirth.Reviewed ByReview Date: 09/16/2008Dan Sacks MD, FACOG, Obstetrics & Gynecology in Private Practice, West Palm Beach, FL.

What does Placenta in the wrong place mean?
Placenta Previa is when the placenta forms in the lower part of the uterus, covering all or part of the opening to the cervix. It is not usually a problem during early pregnancy, but can cause problems later. Later in pregnancy, it can cause bleeding, which may require you to deliver early. Women with Placenta Previa are required to deliver through cesarean section. http://www.babycenter.com/0_placenta-previa_830.bc
Is it normal to be Spotting in the 9th month of pregnanty?
Spotting during the 9th month of pregnancy can be due to different causes. For instance, a bloody show would be a sign that your body is preparing for labor and delivery. Another cause could be placental abruption in which a portion of the placenta may break away from the wall of the uterus. If there is spotting during your last month of pregnancy and you are unsure of what is going on, call the doctor to see what should be done.
Is it possible to have remaining tissue in the uterus after a miscarriage despite a negative pregnancy test and a closed cervix The miscarriage occured 4 weeks ago and test done 4 weeks later by doc.?
If you are concerned, an ultrasound test will confirm the emptiness of the uterus. == Yes, it is possible to have tissue left in your uterus after a miscarriage, this is called retained placenta. You really need to have a doctor confirm this, as a retained placenta could cause death, through hemorraghing or infection.
Can you have a healthy baby after a miscarriage and two abortions?
Yes you can. The concern would be what caused your miscarraige and is it likely to cause one again and scar tissue in your uterus from previous abortion. Scar tissue can cause the placenta from attaching correctly.
Is it safe to pull the placenta out from the heifer?
If you have never had a cow with a retained placenta, you should probably call your veterinarian and work with him/her on this. The answer is, it depends on how attached the placenta is. If the cotyledon/caruncle interfaces have all been broken down and the placenta is just "hung up" on one caruncle, then it is safe to gently apply some traction to the placenta to help it fall out of the uterus. If the placenta is still attached, it is very dangerous to pull on the placenta because it will rip, leaving some of the placenta in the uterus where it will likely set up an infection and could cause the heifer to become sterile. You can try to remove the placenta by very gently pulling down (towards the ground) on it - you should be using about the pressure you would use to pull three helium balloons toward you. If the placenta doesn't move, leave it alone - cows can take up to a week to completely pass the placenta and it doesn't seem to cause any permanent damage to the uterus. However, this cow should be watched for signs of milk fever (hypocalcemia, causes weakness and can be life-threatening), ketosis (negative energy balance, usually happens at 4-6 weeks after calving) and any signs of "ain't doing right (ADR)" such as lower feed consumption. A retained placenta seems to be an indication that something isn't quite right with the cow and these other problems are more likely in a cow that has retained a placenta.
In the process of childbirth when is the placenta expelled from the uterus?
Most likely will you develop a infection when the placenta decompose before you get a chance to get pregnant and that alone can cause a miscarriage. See a doctor ASAP. After a miscarriage you will often need a D&C to clean out the uterus. The miscarriage is not over until everything is out.
