This is a situation called placenta previa, and it can be dangerous for both the mother and the baby.
When the placenta comes out before the baby, it means the placenta has detached from the uterus, cutting off the baby's oxygen and nutrient supply. This can lead to serious complications for the baby, including:
- Brain damage
- Cerebral palsy
- Death
It's important to remember that this is a medical emergency. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call 911 immediately:
- Vaginal bleeding
- Pain in your abdomen
- A feeling of pressure in your pelvis
The best way to prevent placenta previa is to get regular prenatal care. Your doctor can monitor your pregnancy closely and identify any potential problems early on.
