Patient's question:
What are the differences between placenta previa and placenta accreta? What should be done if any of the above conditions are present?Doctor's answer:
Hello, before 28 weeks of pregnancy, if the placenta is less than seven centimeters from the cervical os, it is called placenta previa!Placenta previa doesn't require stress—usually, as the pregnancy progresses and the uterus grows, it tends to resolve. However, there are extremely rare cases where it may develop into low-lying placenta!
How many weeks pregnant are you now? Generally, it is normal for the placenta to be close to the internal cervical os before three and a half months. As the months progress and the uterus grows, the placenta moves upward.
