The : The most common life threatening issues to a mother and the baby during pregnancy are usually a result of hemorrhage (massive bleeding). The likely causes of hemorrhage are placenta praevia, placental abruption, and uterine rupture. Based on the date of this post i hope you have obtained some answers from you family by now. I hope mom and baby are well.
