Previous uterine curettage
Endometritis
Increasing maternal age (>35 years)
Increasing parity
Placental size –increased (as in multiple pregnancy)
Placental abnormality –Succenturiate lobe
Smoking (due to defective decidual vascularisation)
Elevated prenatal maternal serum alpha fetoprotein levels (unexplained)
