Special diagnostic measures that confirm placenta previa include:
❑ transvaginal ultrasound scanning for placental position
❑ pelvic examination (under a double setup because of the likelihood of hemorrhage), performed only immediately before delivery to confirm the diagnosis. In most cases, only the cervix is visualized.
Digital examination should be deferred in any pregnant woman in the third trimester with vaginal bleeding, until ultrasound rules out placenta previa.
