If the placenta is low lying, there is a risk of heavy bleeding during delivery or abortion. So the safer option is a cesarean as the bleeding can be heavy
Next Steps
follow your doctor's advice as pregnancy can be terminated in India only till 20 weeks. So, it has to be quick
Health Tips
fetal autopsy/ karyotyping can be done to determine the cause of lack of growth of baby
