Conversion from LMWH back to warfarin should be delayed for at least 5 to 7 days after delivery
to minimise the risk of haemorrhage during the period of overlap of LMWH and warfarin treatment.

Use bladder diaries in the initial assessment of women with urinary
incontinence or overactive bladder.

Encourage women to complete a minimum of 3 days of the diary covering variations in their usual activities, such as both working and leisure days.

- For pregnancies at more than 16 weeks of gestation the term low-lying placenta should be used when the placental edge is less than 20 mm from the internal os on transabdominal or transvaginal scanning (TVS).

If the distance between the internal os and the placental edge is 20 mm or more on TVS, the placental location should be recorded as normal and managed as per routine

• The term placenta praevia should be used when the placenta lies directly over the internal os.

The six elements considered to be reflective of good care are:
 Consultant obstetrician planning and directly supervising delivery.
 Consultant anaesthetist planning and directly supervising anaesthesia at delivery.
 Blood and blood products available.
 Multidisciplinary involvement in preoperative planning.
 Discussion and consent, including possible interventions (such as hysterectomy, leaving the placenta in situ, cell
salvage and interventional radiology).
 Local availability of a level 2 critical care bed.

According to the RCOG- Any lack of compliance with the care bundle by the clinical team for a woman with either placenta praevia or accreta
should be investigated.

According to MBBRACE-UK 2014 to 2016- Women who have had a previous caesarean section who also have either placenta praevia or an anterior placenta underlying the old caesarean section scar at 32 weeks of gestation are at increased risk of placenta accreta and should be managed as if they have placenta accreta, with appropriate preparations for surgery made.

Risk of anal sphincter injury in women undergoing VBAC is 5%.

Birthweight is the strongest predictor of anal sphincter injury in women undergoing VBAC.
