A member asked:
Could a woman be pregnant and not know it at 28 weeks and have complete placenta previa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual: It is hard to believe but it still happens, occasionally, patients come to labor and delivery without any prenatal care or any knowledge of pregnancy and deliver a term fetus. I guess if the person does not know she is pregnant, but realizes this only at 28 weeks after an ultrasound, this can show placenta previa, though commonly patients with placenta previa have some variable amount of bleeding.

M from India. Please answer. Since the baby in womb could die due to placenta problems which can further lead to infection inside mother, it is not possible for a girl/woman to remain pregnant for more than 11 months from the conception date. Right?
