What are the precautions you should take in case of placenta previa?
My daughter is 15 weeks pregnant and she had a recent episode of slight bleeding. The doctor confirmed it is placenta previa. What precautions should we take to ensure safety for the mother and baby?

Not to do any heavy exercise and continue prenatal check ups
The placenta usually moves away from the opening of the uterus as the uterus grows and the pregnancy progresses- in the meantime avoid anything that can cause contractions as they are the cause the bleeding happens.
Avoid intercourse and lifting heavy weights, bending repeatedly or becoming dehydrated as well as any serious exercise other than gentle waking.
Have hope! The majority of previas resolve by 24 weeks.
