Placental Abruption, Placenta Previa And Retained Placenta

The placenta is the vital organ that sustains and nurtures the baby during the pregnancy by delivering oxygen and nutrients through the umbilical cord.  Problems with the placenta, if not appropriately diagnosed and treated, can result in catastrophic injuries to both the mother and baby.

Placental abruption, where the placental suddenly tears away from the uterine wall, is a medical emergency and if not treated immediately can be fatal. Placenta previa, where the placenta covers the cervix, also needs to be managed carefully to avoid a massive hemorrhage. Finally, after the baby is delivered, it is important for the doctor to make sure the entire placenta is removed or the mother may continue to bleed and cause significant injury or even death.  We have handled many cases involving placental abruption, placenta previa and retained placentas that were negligently managed at military hospitals. Please contact us for a free consultation from an experienced military birth injury lawyer. We can help you too.
