With placenta previa, having a healthy pregnancy and delivery is all about taking precautions (like pelvic rest) and finding the right place to give birth. A placenta that is too close to the cervix after 16 weeks is called low-lying if the edge of the placenta or the enlarged vein at the edge of the placenta (marginal sinus) is less than 2.

The technical term for a low lying placenta is placenta praevia. What happens about it? We usually wait to see if the placenta will move out of the way by itself as your pregnancy progresses and your womb grows. We check its position at your 32-week scan. If the scan shows the placenta has moved, we don’t need to do anything else.

Precautions for Low Lying Placenta

Placenta scan guidelinesThe placenta is inserted wholly or partially into the lower segment of the uterus. Terms used to describe types of placenta previa include: complete placenta previa – the placenta completely covers the internal cervical os partial placenta previa – the placenta is partly over the cervix marginal previa – the placenta is near the edge of the cervix low-lying The objective of this communication is to clarify the BCW Obstetrical Ultrasound department’s practice regarding screening, diagnosis of low-lying placenta, placenta previa, and recommended follow up ultrasound schedule (figure 1). BCW MFM endorses the 2020 SOGC Guideline on diagnosis and management for placenta previa (1). However, the BCW Ultrasound department In placenta praevia (or placenta previa), the placenta attaches inside the uterus in a position that partially or completely covers the cervical opening. [1] Symptoms include vaginal bleeding in the second half of pregnancy. [1]

Low lying placenta precautions should be taken when the fertilized egg attaches too close to the cervix. It may move upwards by itself. C-section is needed if it’s still near the cervix before birth. The placenta nourishes and protects your baby throughout pregnancy, filtering out what she doesn’t need and delivering the oxygen and nutrients she does. Most of the time, it attaches to the upper part of the uterus. The location of the placenta should be included in the 20 week anatomy scan. If there is suspicion of low-lying placenta or an anterior placenta over a previous uterine scar, then a further trans-abdominal ultrasound scan using the full bladder technique should be performed.

Introduction Placenta praevia is a cause of antepartum haemorrhage (defined as bleeding > 24 weeks gestation) which occurs when the placenta overlies the lower uterine segment. Five percent of women have a low-lying placenta at their 20-week scan, but only 0.5% at delivery because the placenta migrates during pregnancy. 4 Antenatal diagnosis and care of women with placenta praevia or a low-lying placenta 4.1 What are the risk factors for women with placenta praevia or a low-lying placenta? Caesarean delivery is associated with an increased risk of placenta praevia in subsequent pregnancies. This risk rises as the number of prior caesarean sections Description Placenta praevia is a condition in pregnancy where the placenta implants in the lower uterine segment, sometimes covering the cervix entirely or partially. This placement can obstruct the cervical canal, which is

Placenta praevia (PP) is an uncommon complication of pregnancy. Usually diagnosed on routine ultrasound done for other reasons, but may present with painless vaginal bleeding in the second or third trimester. Classified as PP if the placenta is directly covering the cervical os, or as low-lying placenta if the placental edge is <2 cm from the cervical os.

If you are found to have a low lying placenta, or a placenta praevia at the 20-week scan, you will be referred for a repeat scan at 32-weeks of pregnancy to check if it has moved upwards. This is called placenta praevia. Women with a low-lying placenta are more likely to experience bleeding from the placenta in pregnancy or around the time of the birth. Most women with low-lying placenta at their 20-week ultrasound scan have no problems. At least one more scan will be recommended to check the position of the placenta in later weeks.
