%X Caesarean section (c-section) is one of the important risk factor to placenta praevia. There is significant association between placenta praevia and previous c-section pregnancy. It is a leading cause of APH and it affects approximately 0.5% of all labour. This cross sectional type of observational descriptive study based on non- probability technique was done in Faridpur Medical College Hospital from July 2015 - June 2016. A total of 150 pregnant women were studied. Pregnant women with H/O previous c-section once or more beyond 28 weeks gestation were included. Those who were primigravidae or pregnant women without previous c-section were excluded. The data were subjected to chi-square test with SPSS software version 20.0. In our study women with previous c-section were selected; out of which 16 patients (10.67%) were found to have placenta praevia and 134 patients (89.33%) were not found. The mean age of the study subject was 27.25 ¡À 3.43 years with maximum number of patients having age between 25 to 29 years. Among the study population other placental positions were anterofundal 90(60%) and posterofundal 44 (29.33%). The frequency of placenta praevia out of 16 women who had one c-section was 11 (10%), two c-section was 4 (11.4%) and three c-section was 1 (20%).There was significant association (p-value < 0.05) between number of c-section and placenta praevia. There was found significant relation between placenta praevia and lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) in our study. Faridpur Med. Coll. J. Jul 2017;12(2): 75-77
