Restriction of the mother's blood flow through the placenta is the most common cause of placental insufficiency. Any restriction can have a serious effect upon fetal growth and development. Placental damage can cause restriction - damage for example caused by infarction (tissue death) or the separation from the uterine wall (placenta abruption). Spasm or blood clots in the placenta veins also have the same effect.
Placenta accreta is a condition in which the placenta grows too deeply into the motherâs uterus, becoming inseparable from the uterine wall. After birth, when the placenta is supposed to be expelled from the uterus, it fails to detach. Removing it completely can cause massive blood loss and damage to internal organs. West said that the surgery to remove Northâs placenta left a small hole in her uterus.
