Introduction: The characteristics of placenta praevia is painless, apparently cause less bleeding from abnormally situated placenta. Often bleeding occurs when the woman is at rest in bed, although it may follow straining, during defaecation, sneezing or coitus. Methodology: A thorough history of vaginal bleeding (warning haemorrhage) was taken. Cases with confirmed diagnosis of placenta praevia on ultrasonography were included in the study. If patients had come in emergency without USG, diagnosis of placenta praevia was confirmed by per vaginal examination or examination of the placenta after the delivery, were included in the study. Results: Out of 72 cases (85.72 percent) of C/D, 46(54.76 percent) were live babies. 16(19.06 percent) were dead, 7(8.33 percent) were still born and 3(3.57 percent) were deeply asphyxiated and died within few hours after delivery. Conclusion: Perinatal outcome mainly depends on gestational age, birth weight and mode of delivery.
