The goal is to maintain the pregnancy until the fetus's lungs mature, usually around the 34th week. If delivery is necessary, corticosteroids, such as betamethasone, may be given to the mother to help the fetus's lungs mature. If the bleeding continues, putting the life of the mother and baby at risk, the birth, by caesarean section, will be carried out regardless of the gestational age. Cesarean section is performed for both partial and total placenta previa. For low-lying placenta, patients may be able to give birth vaginally depending on how much blood loss they have already had
