The following characteristics of placentas have been said to be associated with placental insufficiency, however all of them occur in normal healthy placentas and full term healthy births, so none of them can be used to accurately diagnose placental insufficiency: [citation needed]
Placenta accreta risk factors include placenta previa, abnormally elevated second-trimester AFP and free β-hCG levels, and advanced gestational parent age, specifically over the age of 35.

[14] Preeclampsia is diagnosed in 3-5% of pregnancies that place them at risk of developing placental disease. [6] Ischemic placental disease is linked with approximately more than half of premature births. [4]
The main causes of obstructed labour include a large or abnormally positioned baby, a small pelvis, and problems with the birth canal.
