See below:: You may have bled to death and the baby would have likely died from the abruption anyway. You made an appropriate decision.

It was an emergency!: Abruptio placenta can be a life or death situation sometimes causing disseminated intravascular bleeding. I had one where i almost died and so did my baby. However, in your case, it was an emergency and you may not have had a choice but to terminate pregnancy safely. I am glad you made it.
