A member asked:
I am 29 weeks pregnant with complete placenta previa. my baby is in a transverse position. will this complicate the c-section?

Being prepared: Being prepared helps a lot in challenging situations. This applies to a situation, when there is transverse presentation with placenta previa and a planned c/section. In this particular situation, ultrasound is a great tool to get prepared and minimize the risk.

Not much: Ob/Gyns are trained for both a transverse lie and a complete placenta previa at the time of c/section. Extra care and some additional maneuvers are needed to deliver the baby but this is not a big deal usually. However, if you have had a previous c/section and now have a previa much more major complications can arise if the placenta is over your old scar. Best wishes!
