Placenta previa

It is located near the exit, below the baby.
Do not confuse the "previous placenta" with "placenta previa." The term refers to the previous location of the placenta over the baby: to be below him (with the pregnant woman in standing position) and it should leave first and then make way for baby. Previous only means that it is located in the uterus wall facing the pubis.

Different Ways
If completely blocked the exit, it is an "occlusive All"; if he does part of an "occlusive partial or marginal." In the latter two cases, the baby may be born leaving the placenta to get out of hand.
The placenta previa can cause bleeding during pregnancy or childbirth.

In the case of occlusive total imposes caesarean section. Many marginal placenta previa will run upwards during pregnancy and then cease to be the fourth or fifth month.

With regard to the placenta "above", is named as to which are attached to the anterior wall of the uterus (which coincides with the belly of the pregnant). It can be held high and nothing after, or are very low and after.
The same applies to those that adhere to the wall or the back side left and right. Those that are located on the roof of the parent (which are among the most common), obviously because they will never be pre definitely above the baby.
