A member asked:

13 weeks pregnant and i gave my friend a hug and tried to lift her. now i'm worried i got placenta abruption. no symptoms at all.what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop worrying : Placental abruption can happen in late pregnancy, not early. It doesn't result from lifting.
