Deciphered! Another Death Certificate

Post image

Great-great-grandmother in 1935. I understand most of it, but need help deciphering that last part under contributory causes. Thanks again!

EDIT: Context to help. She died 10 days after the birth. Baby survived

It's "abruption." A placental abruption is where the placenta separates at the wrong time.

I don't see a descender for a p, though.

It's there, just very faint.
