Having Placental Abruption If It Wise To Induce Labor At 37 Weeks?
I have a placental abruption and am 36 weeks and was sent home from the emergency room after 24hour watch, don't know why because I was gushing blood yesterday and I am still bleeding. Want to know if it would be wise to ask my doctor to induce and take baby at 37 weeks. This is my 7 pregnancy and I have 6 at home

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
As you have diagnosed with placental abruption and still you are bleeding,no need to wait till 37 weeks.Better you go and get admitted to hospital as it is an emergency.
Labour should be induced as soon as possible.Constant fetal monitoring is very much essential in your case by cardiotocography.Otherwise it may result in fetal complications.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
