Answer: During pregnancy, the placenta is extremely important. Find out what it does, what problems it can cause, and how the placenta is delivered.

During pregnancy, the placenta is an organ that develops in the uterus. This structure gives your growing infant oxygen and nourishment while also removing waste from his or her blood. The placenta adheres to the uterine wall, and the umbilical cord of your baby emerges from it. The organ is normally attached to the uterus’s top, side, front, or back. The placenta may connect in the lower part of the uterus in rare situations. A low-lying placenta is what happens when this happens (placenta previa).
