Hi thanks for posting on hcm.
Placenta previa is usually diagnosed after 30 weeks of pregnancy.
I suggest there is no necessary to abort if proper care is taken and with timely management antenatal visits with an elective cesarean section complications can be avoided.
Hope this is helpful to you.

I find this answer helpful
