  1. An earlier article by the health editor conflates #placentaAccreta - stuck down, grown deep - with #placentaPraevia - grown across the internal opening of the #cervix and thus going to be torn in labour.
    #Praevia is looked for, and low-lying placenta is a reason to call women back for one or several further looks to make sure it isn't across that #os

    If it is, that's an indication for #CaesareanSection before onset of #labour

    This is difficult stuff, and needs careful writing.

  2. @mcnado a woman who in 30 years time has #cancer of the #cervix will wish that she had had the HPV vaccine her parents have today decided she shall not have.
    (And if she or her second lover have genital warts in 6 years time they may take the same view)
    We have a dip in that, here.

  3. Granted, my hearing’s not getting any better, but I’m nonetheless a little puzzled why #YouTube would target me for an #ad to encourage #deaf #women to have regular cervical #cancer checks—featuring a character who’s an animated #cervix.
