2. Introduction
Placenta previa is a problem of pregnancy in which the
placenta grows in the lowest part of the womb (uterus)
and covers all or part of the opening to the cervix.
The placenta grows during pregnancy and feeds the
developing baby. The cervix is the opening to the birth
canal.

3. Overview
Give a brief overview of what you’ll cover in your presentation.

4. Causes
•Placenta previa occurs in 1 out of 200 pregnancies. It is more common in women who have:
•An abnormally shaped uterus
•Had many pregnancies in the past
•Had multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets
•Scarring on the lining of the uterus due to a history of surgery, C-section, or abortion
•In vitro fertilization
•A history of placenta previa in a previous pregnancy
•Women who smoke, use cocaine, or have their children at an older age may also have an increased risk.

5. Symptoms
.Sudden Bleeding From The Vagina.
.Some women also have cramps.
.The bleeding often starts near the end of the second
trimester or beginning of the third trimester.
.Bleeding may be severe and life threatening.
.It may stop on its own but can start again days or weeks
later.

8. Examination & Test
Ultrasounds in the first and second trimester of
pregnancy can help identify placenta previa early.
A transvaginal ultrasound is considered superior to a
transabdominal ultrasound for confirming the location
of the placenta.
