Placental problems refer to issues that can arise with the placenta, the organ that develops during pregnancy to provide nutrients and oxygen to the fetus. Common placental problems include placenta previa, where the placenta covers the cervix, and placental abruption, where the placenta detaches from the uterus prematurely. These conditions can lead to complications for both the mother and the baby. Symptoms of placental problems may include vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, or contractions. Early diagnosis and monitoring by healthcare providers are essential to manage these issues effectively and ensure the safety of both the mother and the developing fetus.
