A member asked:

I have placenta previa. just in case it does not block the cervix, can i still deliver vaginally?

Dr. Dale Kristle answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Yes: The definition of placenta pre via is that the placenta covers the cervix. often, as the pregnancy progresses, the placenta moves away from the cervix and vaginal delivery can occur.
