Placental Abruption and Lack of Oxygen

Placental abruptions are often secondary to hypertension and diabetes. It is imperative that these conditions are controlled properly to avoid harming the unborn child. In fact, in many instances a placental abruption could have been avoided if the doctor diagnosed and treated hypertension and diabetes properly.
