Title:   Interventions for suspected placenta praevia
Publisher:   John Wiley and Sons, Ltd. for The Cochrane Collaboration
Description:   There is little evidence about the best care for placenta praevia, although putting a stitch in the cervix during pregnancy may reduce associated preterm birth. Placenta praevia is when the placenta (afterbirth) lies across the bottom of the womb. This ...
