FAQs
Tori Spelling had placenta previa, a life-threatening condition, during her fourth pregnancy. Spelling told Us Weekly that 20 weeks into her fourth pregnancy, she was diagnosed with placenta previa.
Placenta previa happens in about 1 in 200 pregnancies. If you have placenta previa early in pregnancy, it usually isn't a problem because it may resolve as the pregnancy grows. However, if it persists it can cause serious bleeding and other complications later in pregnancy.
It is more common in women who have:
- An abnormally shaped uterus.
- Had many pregnancies in the past.
- Had multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets.
- Scarring on the lining of the uterus due to a history of surgery, C-section, or abortion.
- In vitro fertilization.
- A history of placenta previa in a previous pregnancy.
It happens in around one in 200 pregnancies (Sekiguchi et al, 2013). Placenta praevia can be major or minor: a major placenta praevia covers the entire cervix, and a minor placenta praevia covers only a part of it .
