    Besides placenta previa and placental abruption, uterine rupture can occur, which is a very serious condition leading to internal or external bleeding.

Incisions in the lower area of the uterus is also associated with lower risks of uterine rupture.

  7. Couvelaire uterus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couvelaire_uterus

    Couvelaire uterus is a phenomenon where the retroplacental blood may penetrate through the thickness of the wall of the uterus into the peritoneal cavity. This may occur after abruptio placentae.

  8. Rupture of membranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupture_of_membranes

    When the amniotic sac ruptures, production of prostaglandins increases and the cushioning between the fetus and uterus is decreased, both of which are processes that increase the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions. [6] On occasion, with the rupture of membranes, particularly if the head is not engaged, the umbilical cord may prolapse.
