Placental Abruption Birth Injury and Complications

Placental abruption is an uncommon and serious condition that can cause pain and bleeding for the mother and oxygen deprivation for the baby. It occurs when the placenta, which carries nutrients and oxygen to the baby, separates from the uterus before the second stage of labor is complete. This can cause premature birth, growth issues in babies, dangerous – even life-threatening – complications with the mother, and even stillbirth.
