Brief Answer:
Take rest for at least ten days
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
You have placenta developing just above the mouth of the uterus and is below the baby which is otherwise above the baby at the fundus of the uterus.
This clot is just a collection of blood and will be either expelled which is common and harmless or get absorbed eventually.
In both cases nothing to worry but there should not be active bright red bleeding.
Etosys will prevent further bleeding bu enhancing clotting at the site of bleeding so will help a lot.
As the bleeding has stopped now it will be fine now most probably but not for sure.
Clot will take 7-10 days to go away and so you should at least rest for 10 days from now.
In case there is no bleeding in future then nothing to worry at all.
Take care.

what is the cause of retroplacental clot ? my doc has told that my bp is on higher side that is 110/90, in morning 100/70. the lower side should be 60. is this the cause? will etosys helps in absorbing clot ? i have not any brown discharge now. it was just a small drop before ultrasound. i m taking full bed rest by keeping pillow under my feet and doing small easy works. is it ok ?
Brief Answer:
Take rest along
Detailed Answer:
Yes that pillow use beneath feet and rest alone will suffice.
Avoid intercourse or picking heavy things like pile of clothes or bucket of water.
Yes BP can be the cause but in placenta previa even a slight injury like fingering or squatting or heavy weight lift or intercourse can cause problems.
But nothing to worry if there is no active fresh bleeding.
