Yes BUT How often does it separate in the second trimester ? And How often does it separate enough to cause fetal demise without causing labor ?????? @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ R.Daniel Braun, MD FACOG "Money will buy you a fine dog Clinical Professor but only love will make it wag Dept.

Just a point of logic... If the placenta separates, it's an abruption. It doesn't matter what trimester you're in except for the possible clinical impact (e.g., fetal age, etc).

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
