YES!: Placenta previa at term left untreated shall cause severe maternal hemorrhage - even possible exsanguination and maternal death. The proper management includes prelabor cesarean section by 36-37 weeks to avoid bleeding. Avoid all nsaids, unecessary car rides, intercourse, exercise or heavy lifting throught pregnancy if you have this diagnosis and deliver in a large tertiary hospital!
