Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion i hope she is 15 weeks pregnant.In 90% the spontaneous movement of placenta to upper segment occurs.But till that time care should be taken.Avoid any type of physical strain and intercourse.Placenta praevia is a condition where there is low lying placenta.Here there will be painless recurrent bleeding leading to anaemia in mother and growth retardation in baby.Keep HB to normal level and take iron supplements and iron rich diet.
