The placenta connects the baby to the mother and plays a critical role.

It is attached to the mum at the upper part of the uterus or the fundus and this is the normal position. In this case during delivery baby can be born first and the placenta follow. There is less bleeding and its more safe

On the other hand if the placenta leads or finds itself in the lower uterine segment(previa)It can lead to severe bleeding during delivery since it will separate first.

In your third trimester a scan will be done to determine the location of your placenta before your day of delivery. If its too low, covering the opening of the uterus, vaginal birth will be contraindicated. Cooperate with your doctor for the best outcome of pregnancy!

Women with their placenta located in the upper uterine segment without any other indication can have normal vaginal birth.
