Placental abruption; a rare but grave complication

A woman has had a smooth pregnancy all along; she keenly adhered to clinic visits, an active baby has been performing all manner of somersaults in her belly then shortly before the due date, the doctor does not seem to detect a heartbeat! She did everything right yet she has to deliver a stillborn baby. While there are numerous issue-free births happening in the globe every day, for some women, the childbirth process is not as smooth.
