Answer to Question 1

Meningococcus, pneumococcus

Answer to Question 2

Patients with placenta previa experience partial separation of the placenta from the uterine wall. which results in bleeding during the latter part of pregnancy. In addition, during the latter part of pregnancy, as the uterine cervix dilates, the abnormally located placenta may tear, disrupting large uterine vessels at the basal part of the placenta that supplies the intervillous spaces. The mother may bleed to death with a large placental tear, which in turn compromises oxygenation of the fetal blood, leading to death of the fetus.
