Also called "Chorioamniotic Seperation", or Placental abruption it is most common in late birth, after 20 weeks. Anything sooner will most likely result in excessive hemmoraging and cause the baby to abort. Late in pregnancy it will require lots of bedrest. Other cases can include only a slight tear and mean severe pain for the mother but no apparent bleeding, still, this should be reported so your doctor can monitor and it does not turn into something more threatening to you and the baby.
Threatening to the baby because the placenta is a vital 'organ' to the baby while in gestation and separation can create distress (rapid, abnormal heartbeat, low blood pressure) in your baby which in late pregnancy could require a premature delivery.
The best remedy for placenta separation is to closely monitor it with your doctor, and only take the advice of your doctor.
