Placenta Previa: A Midwife’s Perspective

In this episode of The Homebirth Midwife Podcast, Sarah and Charli explore placenta previa, explaining what it is, how it's diagnosed, and how it can impact pregnancy and birth planning. They discuss risk factors, potential complications, and the reality that most cases resolve naturally. The hosts also challenge conventional restrictions often given to those with previa, encouraging individualized decision-making and informed autonomy. With empathy and humor, they remind listeners that this condition is often out of one's control — and that compassionate, personalized care can make all the difference.
