Placenta previa is a condition in which the placenta lies unusually low in the uterus and covers the cervix either partially or completely.

There are four main types: complete previa (the placenta fully covers the cervix), partial previa (it covers part of the cervix), marginal previa (the edge of the placenta reaches the cervix), and low-lying placenta (the placenta is close to the cervix but not covering it).

In early pregnancy, a low-lying placenta is fairly common, but as the uterus grows, the placenta often "moves" upward and away from the cervix, resolving the condition naturally. However, if it persists into the later stages of pregnancy, placenta previa can cause vag1nal bleeding and complications during delivery.

For this reason, regular ultrasounds and close monitoring are essential. In most cases where the placenta still covers the cervix near delivery, a cesarean section is the safest option for both mother and baby.

Baby Positions During Delivery 👶

Did you know that your baby’s position in the womb can affect how smooth your delivery will be? Here are some common positions:

🔹 Cephalic (Head-Down) Position – The ideal position for birth, making delivery easier.
🔹 Breech Position – Baby’s feet or buttocks are facing down, which may require a C-section.
🔹 Transverse Position – Baby is lying sideways, making vag1nal delivery difficult.
🔹 Posterior Position – Baby is head-down but facing your belly, which can lead to longer labor.

Your doctor or midwife can help guide your baby into the best position before birth!
