Causes

• The exact cause of a placental abruption may be hard to determine.

• Direct causes are rare, but include:

• Injury to the belly area (abdomen) from a fall, hit to the abdomen, or automobile accident
• Sudden loss of uterine volume (can occur with rapid loss of amniotic fluid or after a first twin is delivered)
