Possibly: A low lying placenta is a common description for placement near the outlet. Similar to putting furniture in front of the exit door.The placenta must continue to supply critical oxygen and nutrients to baby in labor, so it needs to remain behind or to the side of baby during labor.If the placenta is pushed out first, the baby can die.A c-section delivery is often planned before labor if this happens.
