Low-Lying Placenta in Pregnancy: What You Need to Know

In this video, Dr. Joni Patricia, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Cloudnine Hospital, T Nagar, Chennai, addresses one of the most common concerns expectant mothers face during pregnancy — low-lying placenta (placenta previa). Dr. Joni explains in detail what a low-lying placenta actually means, why it appears in ultrasound scans, and how, in most cases, the placenta naturally “moves up” as the pregnancy progresses. She also clarifies when rest is necessary, what activities to avoid, and under what conditions a caesarean section might be recommended.
