This is a nursing care plan for placenta previa.

Placenta previa is an obstetric complication that occurs in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, defined as the low implantation of the placenta over or near the internal os of the cervix.

It occurs in four degrees: total placenta previa occurs when the internal cervical os is completely covered by the placenta; partial placenta previa occurs when the internal os is partially covered by the placenta; marginal placenta previa occurs when the placenta is at the margin of the internal os; low-lying placenta previa occurs when the placenta is implanted in the lower uterine segment. In this variation, the edge of the placenta is near the internal os but does not reach it. It may cause serious morbidity and mortality to both the fetus and the mother. It is one of the leading causes of vaginal bleeding in the second and third trimesters.
