Background:
Placenta is an important connecting organ between mother and fetus. A lot of fetal and maternal problems are related with the placenta. It is the vital link between the mother and fetus for metabolic exchange, endocrine and other body functions. So it is critical for maternal and neonatal wellbeing. The blood supply of the placenta is not uniformly distributed. The site of the implantation and resultant location of placenta within the uterus are likely to be the important determinants of placental blood flow and therefore pregnancy success. Placental location has been implicated in preterm birth, in fetal mal-position and mal-presentation, IUGR, Low APGAR score and development of preeclampsia.
Objectives:
The objective of the study, is to find out whether there is any significant correlation between second trimester placental location with the following Fetal outcomes such as intra uterine growth restriction (IUGR), preterm birth, low APGAR at 1 Minute (ie
