Placenta Previa Has the Highest Risk for Mother and Baby

Question

Placenta previa has the highest risk for mother and baby during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Accepted Answer

Placenta previa is a condition where the placenta grows low in the uterus, covering part or all of the cervix. The risk of complications for both mother and baby is highest during the third trimester. During the first trimester, there may be no symptoms or complications, but if diagnosed with placenta previa, it will be monitored throughout the pregnancy.
