What Is Placenta Praevia?
Placenta praevia is when the placenta implants low in the uterus, partially or fully covering the cervix. This can block the baby’s path through the birth canal and increases the chance of bleeding during pregnancy or labour.
As a gynecologist in PCMC, Dr. Nikhil A. Mahadar identifies placenta position during routine antenatal ultrasound, performed personally, so this is generally found through normal monitoring rather than an emergency scan.
Types of Placenta Praevia
Many placentas identified as low-lying on an early scan move further from the cervix as the uterus grows through pregnancy, which is why a follow-up scan later in pregnancy is generally used to confirm the final position before deciding on a delivery plan.
Low-lying placenta
The placenta sits near the cervix without covering it.
Marginal placenta praevia
The placenta reaches the edge of the cervix.
Partial placenta praevia
The placenta partially covers the cervix.
Partial placenta praevia
The placenta partially covers the cervix.

How Placenta Praevia Is Diagnosed
Placenta praevia is generally identified during a routine antenatal ultrasound, often the anomaly scan around 18 to 20 weeks. If the placenta is low-lying at that stage, Dr. Mahadar schedules a follow-up scan later in pregnancy, since the position can change as the uterus grows.
Placenta Praevia and Delivery Planning
A low-lying placenta that moves away from the cervix generally allows a normal delivery. Marginal, partial or complete placenta praevia that persists into later pregnancy generally requires a caesarean section, since the placenta blocks the safe path for a vaginal birth. Dr. Mahadar confirms the final placental position and delivery plan well before your due date, so a caesarean section, if needed, is planned rather than a surprise.

- Bleeding that is heavy or accompanied by pain
