### Patient: Doctor, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain and pain during my pregnancy. Additionally, I have been spotting and bleeding. What could be causing these symptoms?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called placenta previa. This occurs when the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix during pregnancy, causing bleeding and lower abdominal pain. It's important to monitor this condition closely and follow any recommended treatment plan to ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy.
