“…Varma (13) showed an increased incidence of fetal growth retardation in her patients with placenta praevia as did Chapman et al( 4) in their patients with a low-lying placenta on early scan. Our study has not shown this, and like Wexler and Gottesfeld (14) we found no other pregnancy abnormalities associated with a low-lying placenta.…”

A retrospective analysis of 732 consecutive deliveries at this hospital was undertaken to see if the early (15-20 weeks) pregnancy ultrasound placental localisation was of value, and whether the diagnosis of low-lying placenta warranted a repeat scan. The placental site was reported as normal in 413 pregnancies, as low-lying in 79 and was not recorded in 240. None of the women with a low-lying placenta developed placenta praevia. There were no significant differences in pregnancy outcome between those women with a low-lying placenta and those in whom it was normally situated. The ultrasound diagnosis of low-lying placenta between 15 and 20 weeks gestation does not warrant a repeat scan.

“…Other studies have reported IUGR in cases of placenta previa in the range of 16% to 19%. 15,16 However, in a recent study in which other factors responsible for IUGR (diabetes, hypertension, etc.) were controlled, no significant increase in the incidence of small for gestational age babies was shown in cases of placenta previa.…”

Objective To estimate the association between placenta previa and abnormal fetal growth. Study Design Retrospective cohort study of consecutive women undergoing ultrasound between 15–22 weeks. Groups were defined by the presence or absence of complete or partial placenta previa. The primary outcome was intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), defined as a birth weight <10th percentile by the Alexander growth standard. Univariable, stratified and multivariable analyses were used to estimate the effect of placenta previa on fetal growth restriction. Results Of 59,149 women, 724 (1.2%) were diagnosed with a complete or partial previa. After adjusting for significant confounding factors (black race, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and single umbilical artery,), the risk of IUGR remained similar (adjusted odds ratio 1.1, 95% CI 0.9–1.5). The presence of bleeding did not impact the risk of growth restriction. Conclusion Placenta previa is not associated with fetal growth restriction. Serial growth ultrasounds are not indicated in patients with placenta previa.
