· This study aimed to determine if patients with resolved placenta previa had an increased risk of expedited delivery due to fetal distress during labor.. · Patients age with resolved placenta previa have similar risk factors to those with persistent placenta previa, including older maternal, lower prepregnancy BMI, current smoking status, use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and history of previous uterine surgeries. They were not at increased risk for operative vaginal delivery or cesarean section due to fetal distress. They did require increased uterotonic use and were at an increased risk for postpartum hemorrhage. · Patients with resolved placenta previa should undergo hemorrhage precautions at the time of admission..
