Q
Management of Placenta Previa:
Asymptomatic patients (EGA: ≤20w)

Regardless of sxs if gestational age > 37w
A

Asymptomatic patients (EGA: 18–20w) → f/u TVUS at 32 w (to monitor placement)

Asymptomatic patients (EGA< 37w) → expectant management* + admit

Symptomatic stable pt (EGA< 37w) → expectant management* + admit for Observation

Severe, active bleeding (EGA< 37w) → emergent cesarean

Gestational age > 37 weeks →immediate cesarean

*Expectant management
< 36w: corticosteroids
If mild uterine contractions: tocolysis & magnesium if <32

A

2 years

*Anovulation→ deficit in progesterone→ unopposed estrogen→ negative feedback in HPA→ long menses
