Placental abruption is a serious condition that can lead to both fetal and maternal death. Other complications include couvelaire uterus and DIC. Bleeding may be so severe that a hysterectomy is needed. To prevent further damage, vaginal and pelvic exams are not performed. Vaginal birth is desirable; cesarean birth is reserved for cases of fetal distress or other obstetric indications and should not be attempted if the woman has severe and uncorrected coagulopathy.
