pre via when your cervix contracts.  This usually happens around the 32 weeks so be careful.

Question 2

i have placenta previa. how soon can i go into labor and will my baby be safe?

Accepted Answer

Placenta previa: The chance of early labor may increase with placenta previa if you have a bleed lifting up a portion of the placenta. There are several forms of placenta previa depending upon the percentage of the opening of the womb is covered by the placenta. In fact, what appears early in pregnancy to be a complete previa may change in time as the uterus increases in size. C section is common for delivery.

Question 3

is it safe to engage in sexual activity without intercourse if i have placenta previa?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can engage in sexual activity as long as nothing is placed inside the vagina to avoid disrupting the placenta and causing bleeding.  Finding other ways to stay intimate with your partner is normal and healthy.

Question 4

as my ultrasound result, it stated that im having a placenta previa totalis and myomauteri. what will i do? is my unborn child be safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You willl have to be watched closely. If the placenta previa does not move your child will be born via csection. Hopefully your OB will discuss all this in detail with you.

Question 5

transvaginal sonogram safe if placenta previa?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: A transvaginal sonogram is typically the best way to diagnose placenta previa. The exam should be gentle and fairly fast. There may be some spotting after the exam. But, it is considered safe.

Question 6

i am 18 weeks and have placenta previa. my ob said that it wasnt partial that it was completely covered. she told me no sex, but i wondered if clitoral orgasm was safe?

Accepted Answer

: You simply don't want to put anything in the vagina that might encounter the cervix and potentially disrupt a possibly fragile placental attachment. Orgasm alone should have no effect.

Question 7

obgyns: is it safe to have a orgasm with a marginal placenta previa? (not covering the cervix- just low lying). no penetration just clitoral stimulation. mfm didnt seem concerned just said to come back in a few weeks?

Accepted Answer

: Should be perfectly  safe to have clitoral orgasm which endorses opinion of your MFM MD.

Question 8

what are the complications of placenta previa? what risks go along with placenta previa? how serious is the condition?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding risk.: Placenta previa means that the birth canal is blocked by the afterbirth. This can cause severe vaginal bleeding that can threaten the maternal and fetal life. It carries a risk of placenta accreta and hysterectomy with it and must be managed in a large hospital with a blood bank and perinatal anesthesiology round the clock. It is a serious pregnancy complication! seek mfm care.

Question 9

wife is 19wks in preg. 1st kid. 17wks diagnosed w full placenta previa. what r d chances of placenta moving up? and can she fly a 2hr flight 27wks in?

Accepted Answer

Discuss with OB.: Flying is ill advised during pregnancy with risk for serious bleeding as is the risk with placenta previa. It's a big risk, should anything happen, you won't be able to land in time to save you or the baby in the event of bleeding.  Repeat  US will help determine if the placenta changes position, but an abundance of caution is best in this case.

Question 10

what are the most common symptoms of placenta previa?

Accepted Answer

Painless bleeding: The most common symptom of placenta previa is painless vaginal bleeding.  If you suspect you might have a placenta previa, an ultrasound can tell you whether you have one or not.
