A member asked:
Stillbirth at 32 weeks due to 20% placenta abruption. baby boy had a mass on kidney that kept growing could this have been what really caused stillb?

Hard to say: A formal autopsy would have been better able to find a specific cause.A placental abruption of as little as 5% could cause fetal loss if it included major blood loss, and with 20% this would be a likely cause. A growing mass on the kidney would eventually cause problems but its contribution to the stillbirth is impossible to know.
