Silvia Azaña, embryologist at inviTRA, tells us in this video how is placental abruption treated before 34 weeks of pregnancy:
If the pregnant woman and the baby are stable, the ideal would be to wait until the 37th to 38th week of gestation to induce labor.
Otherwise, if any gestational complications adjacent to placenta detachment are detected, such as fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, or changes in the woman, then it would be advisable to induce labor.
If this situation occurs between the 23rd and 34th week, corticosteroids will be administered to the pregnant woman to help mature the baby's lungs. Additionally, it is recommended that the woman remains on complete rest.
