Placenta previa is a pregnancy condition where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix. This can lead to complications during delivery, as it may block the baby's exit from the uterus. Women with placenta previa may experience bleeding, especially in the third trimester, which can pose risks to both the mother and baby. Diagnosis typically occurs through an ultrasound, and management depends on the severity of the condition. In some cases, a cesarean section may be necessary to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby. Regular monitoring and medical guidance are essential for those affected.
