Placenta previa is a condition where the placenta is lying low in the uterus above the cervix during pregnancy. If the cervix is covered, it can be impossible for the baby to be delivered naturally. Many mothers find out about this rare condition at a check-up during their pregnancy. If the placenta previa is only partial or not too close to the cervix, the mother might be able to deliver naturally , but there are a lot of potential complications.

Key Takeaways:

• Placenta Previa is the medical term used to describe a very low lying placenta.
• Medical treatment for this condition is very dependent on whether it is total, marginal or low lying placenta previa.
• Placenta Previa affects 1 in 200 pregnancies and can lead to serious complications.

“If you have gotten a placenta previa diagnosis at your 20-week ultrasound, you will likely have nothing to worry about by delivery.”
