A condition in which the fertilized egg becomes implanted in the lower part of the uterus, which means that the placenta lies across the cervix and may become detached during childbirth and cause brain damage to the baby.<\/p>\n

\n

Implantation of the placenta in the bottom part of the uterus adjacent to or over the cervix. The condition may cause few problems during pregnancy or labour; it may, however, cause vaginal bleeding late in pregnancy or hinder vaginal delivery of the baby so leading to caesarean section.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The placement of the placenta in the lower segment of the uterus, close to or potentially covering the cervix, characterizes placenta previa. This condition’s seriousness ranges from marginal placenta previa, where the placenta nears the edge of the cervical opening, to complete placenta previa, wherein the entire cervix opening becomes obscured.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Marginal placenta previa might not yield any negative consequences. Conversely, heightened instances frequently result in painless vaginal bleeding during the later stages of pregnancy, stemming from the detachment of placental tissue from the uterine wall.<\/p>\n

\n

In the event of minor bleeding and several weeks remaining in the pregnancy, hospital bed rest might suffice. In most likelihood, the baby will be delivered via a cesarean section around the 38th week. If the bleeding is substantial or the pregnancy is close to full term, prompt delivery becomes the course of action.<\/p>\n

\n

A placenta positioned in front of the baby regardless of its exact location.<\/p>\n
