What is Placenta Previa?
This means that the placenta is below the baby. This has two implications. First, it may be a cause of some vaginal bleeding. This usually does not harm the baby, but you must inform the doctor if this occurs. Second, a persistent placenta previa will obstruct the passage of the baby through the birth canal and a cesarean may be necessary. An anterior placenta previa in association with a previous cesarean section is a particular hazard.
