For the infants APGAR score, weight of infants, NICU admission, SBR, NMR are noted down. Conclusions: As the maternal morbidity and perinatal mortality due to placenta previa is preventable, efforts should be made to bring down these rates. This can be achieved by spacing pregnancies, limitation of family size, antenatal registration of all pregnant women, routine use of USG in pregnancy and early referral of high risk pregnant women to tertiary care centres. Awareness should be brought in the rural public to avail the facilities provided by the government. These measures will definitely help in a better outcome for both mother and fetus in all high risk pregnancies. ean delivery, Adherent placenta, Postpartum haemorrhage, Maternal morbidity and mortality due to increased incidence of hemorrhagic shock, increased operative interventions and sepsis.
