There is a risk of life-threatening hemorrhage with the condition and this cannot be handled adequately in a plane. When you have the condition, your doctor will usually want you to be in hospital for the remainder of the pregnancy, or within easy reach of one. Obviously, this excludes air travel.

What is it called when the placenta is birthed before the fetus?
This condition is called Placenta Previa. With placenta previa, the placenta grows on the lower part of the uterus partially or totally covering the opening of the cervix.

With placenta previa, the placenta would be delivered first. Women with placenta previa require a c-section because as soon as the umbilical cord comes into contact with oxygen, the baby will automatically breathe with his lungs. Delivering the placenta first puts the baby at risk of suffocation in the womb.
