Fetus and newborn affected by placenta praevia - what does this mean
Placenta praevia is a condition in which the placenta attaches abnormally low in the uterus, sometimes blocking the cervix. this can cause severe bleeding during pregnancy and can lead to preterm labor or fetal distress in the newborn. it is more common in women who have had multiple pregnancies, a prior cesarean section, or who have a history of uterine surgery.
What happens during the disease - fetus and newborn affected by placenta praevia
Placenta praevia is a condition in which the placenta is abnormally located in the uterus, either partially or completely covering the cervix. this can result in a decrease in oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, resulting in fetal growth restriction, premature birth, and other complications. in severe cases, placental abruption can occur, where the placenta detaches from the uterus, leading to severe fetal distress and potential fetal death.
