Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Placenta previa is a condition where the placenta attaches to the lower part of the uterus and covers all or part of the cervix, which can lead to bleeding during pregnancy and delivery. This puts both the patient and baby at risk for complications such as preterm labor, hemorrhage, and fetal distress. Placental abruption, ectopic pregnancy, and uterine tear are not associated with placenta previa.
