Measurement of Location of Placenta

It is important to measure the distance of the placenta from the internal os.

First, you will need to:

  • Identify the cervix
  • Identify the internal os
  • The measurement should be taken from the lower edge of the anterior placenta.

    Ensure that the lower edge of the placenta does not encroach on the cervix and therefore potentially obstruct the birth canal.
