Does placenta previa for 4 months lead to natural miscarriage?

Patient's question:

You are currently four months pregnant and went for a prenatal check-up today. The doctor said the placenta is a bit low. Can my baby still be saved? Will a low placenta at four months lead to a natural miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, if a pregnant woman experiences placenta previa again, it doesn't necessarily mean it will be minor, but she must absolutely rest in bed and carefully monitor for any signs of tearing, and both parties should cooperate in thorough examinations. Based on your current condition, there is a high possibility of natural miscarriage, which may also lead to severe bleeding. Therefore, it is recommended that you consider a D&C if you do not want it, and undergo a thorough examination at the hospital before making a decision. It is also advised that you regularly visit the hospital for follow-up ultrasounds to closely monitor the situation.
