Much has changed since I last gave birth in 1986, but one thing that has not changed is the potentially deadly condition called placenta previa.
Placenta previa is when the placenta, which surround the developing baby and carries nourishment from the mother's body to the baby (and also carries away the baby's wastes) detaches from the uterine wall prematurely. If the baby is not developed enough to survive, this spells death. This is also major trouble for the mother, as profuse bleeding usually occurs. With this condition, things "go south" rather quickly, and unless the mother is rushed to a hospital, she could die too.
