Pregnancy Conditions To Be Aware Of

Placenta Previa

Within the third trimester, placenta previa affects approximately one out of every two-hundredwomen. This is when the placenta sits low in the uterus, potentially causing it to separate from the uterine wall as you go into labor.

If you have had twins or triplets, surgery on your uterus, a cesarean birth, or more than one child, you're at an increased risk. The most common sign is painless bleeding during your third trimester. If this happens to you, see your doctor immediately – as you may be required to bed rest.
