Placenta previa

Placenta previa is a pregnancy complications. During pregnancy the placenta grows inside, the lining of the uterus., Connecting to the umbilical cord, which carries oxygen and nutrients to the unborn child while moving waste away.
The uterus or the Womb has three parts, the fundus , the body and the cervix, which links the uterus to the vagina. In early pregnancy it is normal for the placenta to be positioned low in the uterus.As pregnancy advances the uterus stretches and grows , with the placenta typically moving to the top of the uterus. This allows the cervix, or the entrance to the womb, at the bottom of the uterus, a clear path for delivery.
In the condition called placenta previa. Which occurs in about 1 in 200 pregnancies, the placenta is positioned lower down and may partly or completely cover the cervix.
As a result, when the cervix opens during labour, it can cause the blood vessels connecting the placenta to the uterus to tear , leading to bleeding and thus putting both the mother and baby at risk.
While the exact causes remains unknown, women at a higher risk for placenta previa, among others include women.

Usually a diagnosis of placenta previa may only be made after a routine ultrasound done transvaginally  has superior accuracy as continue a transabdominal one. An MRI may be done to determine the location of the placenta.

Symptoms

Bleeding during the second half of pregnancy. Women with placenta previa often present with sudden painless and light to heavy bleeding from the vagina, usually around 32 weeks of gestation. But it can occur as early as the late mid trimester. The bleeding will start as mild, increasing as the area of placenta separation increases.
Although traditionally mothers would receive in hospital treatment from the first bleeding, episode until birth, however if the foetus is at less than 30 weeks of gestation and neither the mother nor the foetus are in distress, it is now considered safe to treat these mothers .
The attending obstetricians will decide the treatment.
