This condition requires specialist monitoring because it can affect the mode and timing of delivery. With the right care, most women with placenta praevia go on to have safe pregnancies and healthy babies.
As a Consultant Obstetrician and Fetal Medicine Specialist, DrDr Devi Subramanian has significant expertise in diagnosing and managing placenta praevia. Early detection allows careful planning and ensures that both mother and baby receive the safest possible care.
Placenta praevia is usually identified during a routine mid-pregnancy scan at around 20 weeks. In many cases, the placenta moves upward as the uterus grows, resolving by the third trimester. However, if the placenta remains low-lying after 32 weeks, additional monitoring and planning are required.

If placenta praevia persists into late pregnancy, a planned caesarean section is usually recommended. The timing of delivery will depend on individual factors such as bleeding episodes, placental location, and fetal wellbeing.
In more complex cases, such as when placenta praevia is associated with placenta accreta (where the placenta attaches too deeply), multidisciplinary care is arranged to ensure a controlled and safe delivery. Dr Subramanian works closely with anaesthetists, fetal medicine specialists, and theatre teams to optimise outcomes.
Navigating placenta praevia can be emotionally challenging. Clear communication, reassurance, and expert management help mothers feel supported and confident throughout their pregnancy journey.
