The change of placental position results from the formation of the lower uterine segment, which moves the placenta upwards with the expanding uterus. If there is still evidence of a low-lying placenta then women should be forewarned by their primary community-based midwife that they may be at risk of placenta praevia, advised that this increases the risk of vaginal bleeding and informed about the urgent need for midwifery / medical attention if they have any vaginal bleeding until the diagnosis has been confirmed."
