Would Posterior Placenta Partial Previa Grade 2 At 34 Weeks Of Pregnancy Cause Complications During Childbirth?
Hi doc im a pregnant woman. The doctor said my ultrasound findings was: Single live intauterine pregnancy in cephalic with hand presentation. About 34 weeks and 4 days. Posterior placenta partial previa grade 2. Normohydramnios. Is this risk for me during my labor? What should i do. Do i have to take a c-section. My placenta partial previa is a minor. Thank you.

Hi, I think the placenta previa grade 2 is a minor one and vaginal delivery can be possible if there are no other indications for c section. But there should be facility available for emergency c section if there is profuse bleeding and vaginal delivery is risky. Also keep the arrangements for blood transfusion as blood loss can be more. According to RCOG guidelines, placenta 2 cm away from os can be delivered vaginal. Discuss with your doctor regarding this matter. Hope it helps.
