Causes for a ruptured spleen when there are no obvious "causes". In the third trimester, the spleen is being compressed by the nearly full term developing fetus. If the spleen was enlarged already due to a metabolic issue it would not take much of a blow to your body externally or internally (a kick from the fetus) to rupture. The spleen is responsible for removing old white & red blood cells.
