Placental bleed: It's hard to explain without being too technical but, basically, PGH is bleeding that occurs inside the amniotic sac due to leak or rupture of a placental blood vessel. It can result from external trauma, but usually is spontaneous. The presence of PGH puts your pregnancy at high risk. I assume your OB plans to closely monitor you & your unborn child and I wish you the best in that regard.
