- Abruptio placentae is premature separation of a normally implanted placenta from the uterus during late pregnancy.
Signs and Symptoms: vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and uterine tenderness and contractions. Mild to severe uterine hypertonicity is present. Pain is mild to severe and localized over one region of the uterus, or diffuse over the uterus, with a boardlike abdomen.
*Painless vaginal bleeding and a soft, nontender uterus in the second or third trimester of pregnancy are signs of placenta previa.
