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

How early in a pregnancy can a placenta separate from the uterus?

The only way to tell if your placenta has separated from the uterus it to go to your OBGYN and have them do a sonogram. If your doctor is unavailable, I would go to your local emergency room. I urge you to do this as soon as possible because my first daughter died from this and your baby may be in grave danger. The best of luck to you and I hope everything is ok.

Where placenta is located?

In normal pregnancy, the placenta is located at the top of the uterus, above the baby. So the placenta would be delivered after the baby. Placenta Previa is when the placenta forms in the lower part of the uterus, partially or totally covering the opening of the cervix. In this condition, the placenta would be delivered first during a vaginal delivery. Women with Placenta Previa require delivery by cesarean section, because as soon as the umbilical cord reaches oxygen, the baby will automatically use his lungs to breathe. So, if the placenta were to be delivered first, the umbilical cord would reach oxygen and the baby would be in the womb suffocating because the lack of oxygen.


What is it called when the placenta is birthed before the fetus?

This condition is called Placenta Previa. With placenta previa, the placenta grows on the lower part of the uterus partially or totally covering the opening of the cervix. The placenta should form at the top of the uterus, above the baby. With a normal pregnancy, the baby would be born first, then the placenta. With placenta previa, the placenta would be delivered first. Women with placenta previa require a c-section because as soon as the umbilical cord comes into contact with oxygen, the baby will automatically breathe with his lungs. Delivering the placenta first puts the baby at risk of suffocation in the womb.
