Hi,
Placenta previa means there is position of placenta is near cervix i.e. during labor placenta comes first and then fetus so this pregnancy is always risky and if full term approaches CS is to be done.
But it does not mean this time there may be the same situation.
Keep up regular follow up with your Obst. and go for regular ultra sound to know the position of placenta and fetus.
There are all chances of having normal delivery.
Ok and take care.

Hi,
Placenta previa is the condition when the placenta is low-lying close to the cervix and may obstruct the passage of the baby at birth.
In most cases, the cause is unknown but there is a higher incidence in women who are older, smoke, have had previous babies, previous C-sections or uterine surgery.
The warning signs are painless, bright red bleeding from the vagina during the last three months of pregnancy. If this happens, you should contact your doctor or midwife urgently.
