Background: Placenta Previa (PP) is characterized as the unusual implantation of placental tissue over or adjoining the inside cervical os. The commonness of PP is at around 5 for every 1000 pregnancies. It represents roughly 20% of all antepartum drain, front PP was seen as related with unfavorable maternal results including over the top blood misfortune, gigantic transfusion, placenta accreta and hysterectomy. Objective: The purpose of our study was to decide the connection between the site of placenta in pregnant women and the hematocrit (Hct) estimation of umbilical cord blood (CB) of the newborn. Patient and method: This case-control study was carried out at Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Zagazig University Hospitals and El-Menshawy General Hospital in Tanta during the period from May 2018 to May 2019.

Group II: women without placenta previa at a similar gestational age as (bunch II). Placenta position was classified as foremost, back and fundal placenta. Results: there was high huge distinction between hemoglobin levels when activity in the placenta previa gathering. Additionally, there was high distinction between the placenta previa gathering and the control group in respect to fetal haematocrit esteem, which was higher among placenta previa gathering. Regarding fetal hematocrit and placenta site, our examination demonstrated that there was high solid critical connection between the placental site and haematocrit esteem. Conclusion: Placental area can decide pregnancy outcome.
