Whereas the proportion of women experiencing placenta previa (implantation of the placenta close to or over the opening to the birth canal) increased steadily with age, the proportion experiencing placental abruption (separation of the placenta from the uterus) was relatively high at the extreme ages but dropped among women in their 20s and early 30s; a similar pattern was found in rates of fetal abnormality. A woman who has a cesarean is four rimes as likely to have a placenta previa (low-lying placenta) in her next pregnancy, putting her at risk for miscarriage, bleeding during pregnancy and labor, placental abruption, and premature delivery. In a study of over 25,000 women, those who had a Caesarean section were three to four times more likely during a later pregnancy to develop a potentially serious bleeding condition known as placental abruption - in which the placenta detaches from the uterus before delivery - than women who had never had the procedure. |
