The risk of placenta previa (or low-lying placenta = “placenta”) refers to a pregnancy complication in which the placenta is located at the bottom of the uterus and the cervix partially or completely covered. Between three and six thousand pregnant women have this problem – it is detected by ultrasound. When expanding into the second half of pregnancy, the lower portion of the uterus can cause bleeding. If the cervix is completely covered by the placenta, a vaginal delivery is not possible for the baby.
Uncontrolled bleeding (haemorrhage medically called) are rarely able to mother and child but can be life threatening. If the bleeding does not stop his or preterm labor starts, you will bring the baby with a Caesarean section, even if the actual birth date would have only weeks later will.
There are four different types of the risk of placenta previa, the first two are most common:
• The placenta is located at the bottom of the uterus, but the baby can still be born vaginally.
• The lower edge of the placenta touches the cervix, but not covered him. A vaginal delivery is therefore still possible.
• The placenta covers the cervix partially. The baby must be delivered by caesarean section.
• The placenta covers the cervix completely. The baby must be delivered by caesarean section.
If you notice at the beginning of the pregnancy in an ultrasound scan that the placenta is close to the cervix or even covered him, you have to do is still not too worried. With a probability bordering on certainty, it is not a placenta previa. Because if your baby grows, your growing uterus, the placenta will move automatically from the cervix. Even if the placenta is still in the 20th Week is low, which is not likely to lead to problems at birth.
