In North America placenta praevia occurs in 2.9 per 1000 pregnancies. Ethnic differences indicate white women are less likely to experience placenta praevia than black women.

Placental anomalies, including low-lying placenta, bilobed placenta, placenta with accessory lobe/s [9] Previous pregnancy with abnormal cord insertion [2] Having an umbilical cord with a single umbilical artery [9] Advanced maternal age [5] [27]
There are three types of vasa praevia. In Type 1, there is a velamentous insertion with vessels crossing the cervix. In Type 2, the placenta is bilobed or has a succenturiate lobe, with unprotected vessels between the lobes. In Type 3, a portion of the placenta overlying the cervix has atrophied, leaving vessels at a margin exposed. [3]
An impaired placenta cannot support the pregnancy and this may lead to the loss of a chromosomally normal baby. [5] On the other hand, an apparently normal diploid fetus may experience problems with growth or development due to the effects of uniparental disomy (UPD).
Placenta previa is a condition that occurs when the placenta fully or partially covers the cervix. [13] Placenta previa can be further categorized into complete previa, partial previa, marginal previa, and low-lying placenta, depending on the degree to which the placenta covers the internal cervical os.
An important risk factor for placenta accreta is placenta previa in the presence of a uterine scar. Placenta previa is an independent risk factor for placenta accreta.
