Pregnant With Low Lying Placenta, Precaution. Reason To Do C Section Before Due Date?
hi hi Hi doctor - thanks for the response my wife is in her seventh month of pregnancy and she has a low lying placenta would like to know what precaution she needs to take and the second question is do we need to do a c section before the due date( probably in the 8th month) as we have read something like this on a few sites

hi,
low lying placenta will be in different grades depending on how near it is to cervical os,
so if your wife is having complete placenta previa she needs complete bed rest and cesarean section,
that may not be too early as in 8th month,
but if she starts bleeding for the life of baby she may need early cesarean section.
