Doctor's answer:
Hello! A normal fertilized embryo will be located inside the uterus. However, if the implantation site of the fertilized embryo is low, when the placenta grows, the increasingly large placenta will remain in a relatively lower position in the uterus of the pregnant woman, close to the cervix but not covering it. This is called placenta previa, also known as marginal placenta previa.If you have placenta previa, don’t panic, because anxiety will only affect the progress of your pregnancy. Placenta previa is when the placenta attaches to the lower segment of the uterus or a lower position, below the presenting part of the fetus. Since the cervix extends and elongates during pregnancy, a checkup before 24 weeks is not sufficient to diagnose placenta previa.
