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)
Placental abruption, which includes any amount of placental separation before delivery, occurs in about 1 out of 150 deliveries. The severe form, which can cause the baby to die, occurs only in about 1 out of 800 to 1,600 deliveries.
