Cocaine use: Cocaine use during pregnancy is a significant risk factor for placental abruption. Cocaine causes vasoconstriction, which can reduce blood flow to the placenta and lead to its premature separation from the uterine wall. However, it is not the most common risk factor.

Blunt force trauma: Trauma to the abdomen, such as from a car accident or a fall, can cause placental abruption. This type of trauma can lead to the separation of the placenta from the uterine wall, resulting in bleeding and potential complications for both the mother and the fetus.

Cigarette smoking: Smoking during pregnancy is another risk factor for placental abruption. Nicotine and other harmful substances in cigarettes can affect placental blood flow and increase the risk of abruption. However, like cocaine use, it is not the most common risk factor.

Inwardly turned foot on the affected side: An inwardly turned foot, also known as metatarsus adductus, is not typically associated with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). This condition is more related to foot positioning and alignment rather than hip dysplasia.

Absent plantar reflexes: The plantar reflex, also known as the Babinski reflex, is usually present in newborns and indicates normal neurological function. An absent plantar reflex is not a common finding in DDH and would more likely suggest a neurological issue.

Lengthened thigh on the affected side: In DDH, the affected thigh is often shorter, not longer, due to the displacement of the femoral head from the acetabulum. This can lead to a noticeable difference in leg length.

Headaches: While headaches are a common side effect of terbutaline, they are generally not considered severe enough to require immediate reporting unless they are persistent or unusually intense. Headaches can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and do not typically indicate a serious problem.

Nervousness: Nervousness is another common side effect of terbutaline. It is usually mild and does not require immediate medical intervention. However, if the nervousness is severe or accompanied by other symptoms, it should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Tremors: Tremors are a known side effect of terbutaline and are usually not severe. They occur due to the medication’s action on the nervous system. While they can be bothersome, they are not typically dangerous and do not require urgent reporting unless they are severe or persistent.

: A rapid decline in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels is not typically associated with a hydatidiform mole. In fact, hCG levels are usually elevated in cases of hydatidiform mole due to the abnormal growth of trophoblastic tissue. Elevated hCG levels can lead to symptoms such as severe nausea and vomiting, which are more indicative of this condition.

: An irregular fetal heart rate is not a common finding in hydatidiform mole cases. In a complete molar pregnancy, there is no viable fetus, and therefore, no fetal heart rate can be detected. In partial molar pregnancies, there may be some fetal tissue, but it is typically not viable and does not develop a regular heart rate.

: Profuse, clear vaginal discharge is not specifically associated with hydatidiform mole. While vaginal discharge can increase during pregnancy, the discharge associated with a molar pregnancy is typically dark brown or red due to bleeding from the abnormal tissue. Clear discharge is more commonly associated with normal pregnancy changes or other conditions.
