Placenta abruptio or placental abruption is abnormal separation of the placenta from the uterine wall.

Uterine notching in the placenta is primarily associated with inadequate blood flow or placental perfusion, often due to maternal conditions such as hypertension or preeclampsia. This notching occurs when the placenta is unable to fully expand in response to the uterine environment, leading to irregularities in its shape. Additionally, factors like uterine contractions, abnormal vascular remodeling, or placental insufficiency can contribute to this phenomenon. It can be an important indicator in prenatal assessments for potential complications.

An abruptio placentae is a premature separation of the placenta from the uterine wall.
The placenta and umbilical cord exit the body during childbirth, typically through the vaginal canal. After the baby is delivered, the placenta separates from the uterine wall and is expelled as the afterbirth. In some cases, a cesarean section may be performed, and the placenta and umbilical cord are removed through the surgical incision in the abdomen.
The embryo and placenta grow side by side and are attached via the umbilical cord - the placenta attaches to the uterine wall as it develops after the embryo implants in the uterine lining. Some women have spotting and slight cramps when the embryo attaches to the uterine lining.
I believe the placenta is directly attached to the uterine wall.

Retention of placenta occurs when the placenta or parts of it remain attached to the uterine wall after childbirth, failing to be expelled within a reasonable timeframe, typically about 30 minutes. This condition can lead to complications such as severe bleeding, infection, and prolonged recovery for the mother. Treatment often involves medical intervention, such as medications to promote uterine contractions or, in some cases, surgical procedures to remove the retained tissue. It's important for healthcare providers to monitor for this condition after delivery to ensure maternal health and safety.
