What happens during the disease - placenta praevia specified as without haemorrhage

Placenta praevia is a condition in which the placenta is abnormally located in the lower uterus, near or covering the cervix. this can occur due to an abnormally shaped uterus or a lack of space in the uterus, which can be caused by multiple pregnancies or a previous caesarean section. without haemorrhage, the placenta may be unable to provide adequate nutrition to the fetus, leading to intrauterine growth restriction or fetal death. in addition, the placenta can cause uterine contractions due to its position, leading to premature labor.
