During every one of my pregnancies I've learned many new words and terms that I didn't even know existed before we started having children... Words
like placenta previa, nuchal cord, VBAC and HBAC (and lots of others).
Obviously, natural birth is optimal whenever it is possible (and it is possible much more than the 30 + % that it occurs now) but there are times where it is legitimately not possible to deliver vaginally (

Sometimes baby doesn't want to come out, not because they don't want to, but because of medical problems
like placenta previa.
What shocked me about the homebirth stories is that in nearly every case, the baby's death or injury was related to common factors
like placenta previa or Group B strep.
(Of course, there are a few mothers who have known risk factors that make safe natural birth impossible,
like placenta previa, but that presumably doesn't apply to you.)
This could indicate damage to the placenta
like placenta previa, or some other condition that is quite serious.
If there are no extenuating circumstances (
like placenta previa or vaginal bleeding), intercourse is generally considered safe throughout pregnancy.
Not exact matches
These include
placenta previa, placental abruption, maternal indications
like PIH, active herpes, and labor complications

like ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus),

placenta over the cervix), and uterine rupture.
According to sources
like Parents Magazine,
placenta previa occurs in about 1 out of 200 pregnancies into the third trimester.
Research suggests that having pregnancies less than 12 months apart is associated with an increased risk of complications
like placental abruption (when the
placenta separates from the wall of the uterus before delivery) and
placenta previa (when the
placenta partially or completely covers the cervix) in women who delivered their first child via caesarean section.
