Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Many causes: Placental, cord, underlying maternal disease such as hypertension and diabetes, infections, substance abuse, trauma and genetic disorders make up the majority. Your doctor should assess your medical history and monitor your pregnancy to design prenatal care that optimizes the chance for a successful outcome.
