Bleeding in The Second Half of Pregnancy

Eleanor J. Rutherford, MD



The etiology of bleeding in many cases in the second half of pregnancy can not be determined. However, among known causes of significant bleeding, placenta previa and placental abruption are the two most common etiologies. The different degrees of placenta previa are as follows:

• Total placenta previa: The placenta totally covers the internal cervical os.

• Partial placenta previa: The placenta partially covers the internal cervical os.

• Marginal placenta previa: The edge of the placenta extends to the margin of the internal cervical os.

• Low-lying placenta: The placenta is within reach of the examining finger introduced through the cervix.
