Hey i was wondering if anyone had any experience with tears in the placenta. i have a good friend that went to the hospital yesterday with bleeding, she is only 9 weeks pregnant and the dr said she had a placenta tear. he didnt tell her to rest or anything just told her that 80% of the time the baby comes out healthy. She has a child that is about 18 months and i was wondering if anyone could give me anymore information that could put her more at ease or anything that she could do to try and make things work out for the baby. thank you for your help.
They had a beautiful healthy baby on Aug 2nd 2009, everything turned out all right and after the tear was healed (few weeks) she had a normal healthy unrestricted pregnancy

i had a placenta previa at 3 months with my 2 year old.. her baby should be fine as long as she does what the doctor says. i was on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy.. accept i didn't listen one day and my son came at 26 weeks..
he is fine but has some problems.. so just tell your friend to do what the doctor says and very thing should be okay.. she DOESN"T want a baby in the NICU it is really h*** o* everyone!!!
When I was about 8 weeks along with number four, I started bleeding. My doctor ran a bunch of tests. At first he thought I was having a miscarriage, but then decided to do an ultrasound. Turns out I had a sub chorionic tear. I had bleeding for about the first 3 or 4 months then it just stopped. My little boy was 5 weeks early, and had to spend a week in the NICU, but he was healthy considering how early he was. My doctor put me on restrictions on how much I could lift ( I also had an 18 month at home), but other than that it everything was fine. I'm sure the doctor will keep a close eye on everything. Don't worry to much, you don't need the stress. Good Luck.
i actually have a friend that is going through the same thing except the doctor told her to take it easy.. all u can really do is pray for her and her baby.. and tell her to stay calm i know its hard but god works in misterious ways.. it will work out for the best.. just be there for her give her all the support u can.
My wife had one with our 2nd child. We were told "where" the tear was located and to what extent would determine the viability of the pregnancy. A small percentage of tears will heal if they're not significant and no loss of ambiotic(sp) fluids. For us, the tear was significant, and it ended disasterous for us. Within 72 hours of our tear, my wife went into labor because her water eventually broke after days of a slow loss of fluids, and ended up delivering our child at 6 months into the pregnancy.
After, my wife was on heavy antibiotics because infection set in. Our daughter passed away shortly after. I'm surprised the doctor has not put her in the hospital for observation or on bedrest. There is a risk of serious infection and sometimes worse to both mother and baby if the tear causes a slow internal leak of ambiotic fluids due to the tear.
I strongly suggest she get a second opinion, especially if she develops a fever or any other symptoms.
I had this happen to me about half way through my pregnancy. Dr. had me be careful of lifting heavy things and told me to take it easy. Stressing about it isn't going to make it go away and it will actually make it easier on her to not be thinking about it. My baby was born 2 weeks early but was a very healthy baby. I wish your friend the best of luck!
My friend had a tear in her first two pregnancies which she carried to term both times. I would imagine that since she is not very far along there isn't much for monitoring that would be beneficial. They can't do anything in a hospital for a fetus under like 20 weeks so it's a matter of what her body decides to do and whether or not things will work out for the best. I know it's not much in the way of comfort for her.
