Hello
thanks for your query.
Probably what happened was Abruptio Placenta.
This means that the placenta prematurely separated from the uterine wall .
Symptoms include hardened painful uterus, bleeding, and death of the fetus.
Another condition is avulsion of the umbilical cord in which the cord gets separated from the placenta before delivery of the placenta, leading to torrential bleeding.
You can read up more on both of these to see what fits.
Take care.
