A member asked:

If vasa previa is detected before labor, what are the chances of a healthy baby?

Specializes in Psychiatry

Very good chances: If they detect it on time, usually there is no problem. They know how to deal with it.

Chances are Good: If you have a vasa previa, you are at high risk and should consult with a specialist. Among the recommendations, for you should be delivery by cesarean section around 35 weeks and consideration to hospitalization before that.
