Hi,

I'm 18 weeks pregnant and I was so scared to find myself started viginal bleeding. It was only very light pink spotting in the beginning, I went to the obs and he did a very simple check and said it's placenta abruption, and didn't know what the cause could have been. I've been resting in bed for the last two days as suggested and this morning I found the bleeding gets a bit worse(fresh pink color blood with tiny clots), I called the doctor and he said nothing can be done just hope that the placenta will stop seperating from the wall of uterus. I'm very concerned because from what I read placental abruption doesn't normally happen before 20 weeks? and shouldn't more exams be done to determine the cause of bleeding? I hope anyone had similar experience could give me some ideas or share their stories.

Thanks alot,
tt
