Placenta previa is a potentially life-threatening condition that requires early recognition and careful management. It occurs when the placenta is abnormally positioned in the lower part of the uterus, partially or completely covering the cervix. This condition can lead to painless vaginal bleeding, particularly in the second or third trimester. As a healthcare provider, recognizing the symptoms early allows for prompt intervention, including potential cesarean delivery, to ensure the safety of both mother and baby. 🩺 Key Symptoms: Painless vaginal bleeding (especially after 20 weeks) Soft, non-tender uterus No pain or discomfort (compared to other types of bleeding) ⚠️ Risk Factors: Multiple pregnancies Previous cesarean sections Advanced maternal age Multiple gestations 🛑 Management: Ultrasound for diagnosis Cesarean delivery if placenta is covering the cervix Close monitoring to prevent excessive bleeding and preterm labor 👩⚕️ Clinical Judgment: The early identification of placenta previa is crucial in planning the safest delivery method. Management of bleeding and preventing complications is central to maternal and fetal well-being. #PlacentaPrevia #VaginalBleeding #PregnancyComplications #MidwiferyCare #ClinicalJudgment #MaternalHealth #PregnancyCare #Obstetrics #CesareanSection #VaginalBleedingInPregnancy #PlacentalDisorders #PregnancyHealth #FetalWellBeing #PrenatalCare #PregnancyDiagnosis
