Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Placenta previa with labor pains or bleeding from vagina are urgent indication of cesarean section.
Baby is still premature so will take neonatal intensive care after birth.
Try to go to a tertiary care institute so that availability of blood, gynecologist and neonatology team is ensured.
Take care. In case you have other questions you can contact me directly on http://bit.ly/drmanishajain
