Abstract
Placenta previais anobstetriccomplication in which theplacentais inserted partially or wholly in the lower uterine segment. It is a leading cause ofantepartum haemorrhage. We report a case of 31-year-old woman presented in Obstetric and Gynecological clinic with signs and symptoms of Placenta previa. One day after admission, patient gave birth by caesarean section to a healthy baby. Yet, two hours later, the patient's condition was deteriorated due to postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). The diagnosis of Placenta previa was based on symptoms and sign as continuous bleeding ‘ex utero', clots in vagina, uterine atony and distended bladder. Blood loss was approximately >1000 ml and was accompanied by clinically apparent shock. Using a conservative treatment such as the application of uterotonic drugs and uterine massage, we managed uterus to be saved.
