placenta previa. [prÄâ²vÄÂ·É]. a condition of pregnancy in which the placenta is implanted abnormally in the uterus so that it impinges on or covers the internal os of the uterine cervix. It is the most common cause of painless bleeding in the third trimester of pregnancy. Its cause is unknown.
The main symptom of placenta previa -- and the greatest risk to you and your baby -- is vaginal bleeding. If you have bled too much, you may have other symptoms, such as anemia, pale skin, rapid and weak pulse, shortness of breath, or low blood pressure. The bleeding that signals placenta previa may occur at the end of the second trimester or beginning of the third trimester. It may be heavy or light. Bleeding is usually painless, and it may happen without labor or during labor.
