chronic abruptionFrom: sandra (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 26 Sep 1999 03:32:46 -0500 (CDT)
I recently had to terminate a twin pregnancy (one placenta-two sacs)at 23 weeks (lmp) because my twins were diagnosed with oligohydramnios due to something called a chronic placental abruption. At 10 weeks I was involved in a car accident--is it possible that this caused the placental abruption--I spotted approximately 2 days after (only 2-3 spotts) and never spotted again until a month later I woke up soaked in blood and was diagnosed with placenta previa. I was placed on bedrest and my sonograms showed the placenta was moving upward. Next thing I knew, they told me twin a had no amnio fluid and twin b had only 3 cm of fluid. At the time of the termination they were appropriately sized. I was also told that had I waited another week or week and a half, I could have died (after seeing the placenta this diagnosis was made). I should also mention that after I was diagnosed with placenta previa at the emergency room, I bled every day in varying amounts up until the date of my termination.
