<human>: Hi I have placenta posterior and placenta previa which reaches up to 2 cm. I suffered bleeding and I was kept in the hospital for 2 days. I am advices bed rest. I am in my 28th week. I wanted to know is it possible for me to have a normal delivery in this condition? Also what advice would u give so that there are no further complications to me or the baby And I can have a smooth delivery. Thank you
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Placenta prefix is a condition when placenta is near / over internal OS (inner opening of uterus.  Type of delivery depends on how much placenta extends towards the internal OS.  - Low lying placenta/ placenta few cm. away for mos/ placenta covering margins of OS .have chances of normal delivery with expert management/ utmost care. But placenta sitting over internal Os inevitably turns into surgical delivery (LSCS delivery) * You are mentioning your placenta reaching up to 2 cm.  In case It's 2 cm away from internal Os. You do have chance of normal delivery.  But if you mean its covering internal Os. You have to have a LSCS deliver.  * Please don't be scared, whatever is the type of delivery. It should result in safe childbirth. So whatever your doctor decides it best for you & your baby.  Thanks.
