Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion placenta praevia is a low lying placenta.
For some unknown reasons the placenta gets implanted over the lower uterine segment.
So it cannot be preventable.The DVT is seen in those with predisposition to clot formation.So I suggest you to rule out the abnormalities like anticardiolipin and antiphospholipid antibodies .
The increased clotting is seen in them.Also coagulation profile might be done to rule out any abnormalities.Don't worry.
It is not definite that it might recur in further pregnancy.
So relax.Avoid stress.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
