• Congenital malformations
• Amniotic fluid problems, including oligohydramnios (not enough fluid) and polyhydramnios (too much fluid)
• Placental abnormalities, including placenta previa and placental abruption

• Tumors of pregnancy, including gestational trophoblastic disease
• Additional abnormalities of the ovaries, uterus, and remaining pelvic structures
