Placenta Previa

In May, Trish was diagnosed with placenta previa, a condition where the placenta, which normally adheres itself to the wall of the uterus, is covering the cervix, the opening of the uterus. This makes the uterus very susceptible to any sort of trauma. The result of the trauma is that the placenta bleeds. The danger is that mom could lose a lot of blood fast and baby could stop receiving the nutrients and oxygen he relies on from the placenta. Another nasty side effect is that the husband has to do everything the wife asks, so as not to upset her.
