Risk Factors
- Maternal hypertension is a factor in 44% of all abruptions.
- Maternal trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents, assaults, falls, or nosocomial
- Drug use is a factor, particularly tobacco, alcohol, and cocaine.[1]
- Short umbilical cord
- Prolonged rupture of membranes (>24 hours)
- Retroplacental fibromyoma
- Maternal age: Pregnant women who are younger than 20 or older than 35 are at greater risk.
- Previous abruption: Women who have had an abruption in previous pregnancies are at greater risk.[2]
The risk of placental abruption can be reduced by maintaining a good diet including taking folic acid, regular sleep patterns and not smoking or drinking alcohol.
