Not medical advice. ClearTerm Health is an informational resource created by a patient advocate, not a medical professional. Always consult your doctor or MFM specialist for guidance specific to your situation.

ClearTerm Health was built by a patient advocate who lived this. It's a free resource for women navigating placenta previa, placenta accreta spectrum, and vasa previa — written in plain language, for the person actually going through it.

When to seek emergency care immediately

If you have been diagnosed with placenta previa or are at risk for placenta accreta, go to the nearest emergency room immediately if you experience heavy vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, a rapid drop in fetal movement, signs of shock (dizziness, rapid heartbeat, fainting), or any bleeding that soaks more than one pad per hour.
