What is the name of a placenta that is implanted low? What is this called and what are the implications?

                A placenta that is implanted too low is called a Placenta previa. Placenta previa is the location of the placenta in the lower part of the uterus (womb) so that the placenta partly or completely covers the cervix.

                Placenta previa is where the placenta is down by the cervix, and is not up toward the upper part of the uterus. Bleeding can occur when the cervix dilates or stretches. You can die from bleeding to death
