Hello dear,
Placenta previa is a major matter of concern during pregnancy. And you need to be very cautious about any symptoms like bleeding or abdominal pain. Although very truely said by your concerning doctor that it's just being 22 weeks. Placenta in most cases recedes upward and it's by its own. There is no as such means which can help you. Rather patient is advised strict bed rest to avoid the pressure and placental separation as it's one of the life threatening emergency in obstetric. So just be cautious continuing the pregnancy. And wait for the repeat scan by 30- 32 weeks of pregnancy. Till than good luck. Any further querry you are welcome. Hope this would help.
