"Placental abruption" refers to a condition during pregnancy where the placenta, which is an organ that provides the baby with nutrients and oxygen, separates from the uterus before the baby is born. This can be dangerous for both the mother and the baby, as it can lead to bleeding, pain, and potentially restrict oxygen flow to the baby. It requires medical attention to ensure the safety of both the mother and child.
