Question 1

my ob says that having posterior marginal placenta previa is good news  rather than it being anterior.. is that true ?

Accepted Answer

Yes : Placenta previa is never good news, but the cesarean delivery is easier if we don't need to deliver through the placenta.  An anterior placenta previa for someone with a previous cesarean section can be a very difficult delivery.
You will want to recheck the placenta position closer to term if this was seen on an early sonogram.

Question 2

is placenta previa hereditary?

Accepted Answer

no: Placenta previa is an obstetric complication in which the placenta is inserted partially or wholly in lower uterine segment.It can sometimes occur in the later part of the first trimester, but usually during the second or third. It is a leading cause of antepartum haemorrhage (vaginal bleeding). It affects approximately 0.4-0.5% of all labours.

Question 3

what is placenta previa marginalis grade 2?

Accepted Answer

Placenta previa: Normally, the position of the placenta is near the top of the womb.  In some cases however, the placenta stays in the lower portion (part) of the womb, and either partially or completely covers the cervix (neck of the womb). The described grading is when the placenta reaches the cervix, but doesn't cover it.

Question 10

have marginal placenta previa is orgasim ok? dr siad no sex.

Accepted Answer

Listen to Doctor: If your doctor meant "no sexual intercourse" (penetration), you should heed the advice.  However, having an orgasm is a bit different.  It often causes uterine contractions but seldom actually starts labor. I suggest you ask your doctor for clarification.  Don't be shy!
