Ep216 - Placental Abruption and Overcoming Fear with Leslie Damper

Sisters in Loss Podcast: Miscarriage, Pregnancy Loss, & Infertility Stories

Do you know what a placental abruption is?

Placental Abruption is a serious pregnancy complication in which the placenta detaches from the womb (uterus). Placental abruption occurs when the placenta detaches from the inner wall of the womb before delivery. The condition can deprive the baby of oxygen and nutrients. Symptoms include vaginal bleeding, belly pain, and back pain in the last 12 weeks of pregnancy. Depending on the degree of placental separation and how close the baby is to full-term, treatment may include bed rest or a cesarean section.

Today’s guest experienced a placental abruption of her daughter. Leslie Damper found out she was becoming a mother in August 2020 and by November 2020 she was called home due to placental abruption. In this episode Leslie takes us back to the joy she experienced when finding out she was pregnant and to the day when she lost her baby girl. She shares in this episode how she overcame fear and weakness and how she is not giving up hope to become a mother again.

This episode is for you to listen to if you have experienced a placental abruption.
