Correct Answer:
Abruptio placentae
Rationale:
🤰 The classic signs of abruptio placentae include severe abdominal pain, dark red vaginal bleeding, and a firm, tender uterus at 35 weeks gestation.
🤰 This condition results from premature separation of the placenta from the uterine wall, leading to hemorrhage and compromised fetal oxygenation.
🤰 Risk factors include hypertension, abdominal trauma, smoking, or cocaine use.
🤰 It is a medical emergency, requiring immediate maternal stabilization, continuous fetal monitoring, and possible emergency delivery if fetal distress is detected.
