What Precautions Should Be Taken During Pregnancy If Having Placenta Previa?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...i am fourteen+ weeks pregnant (with pregnancy #5). About five weeks ago I experienced bleeding, spotting, etc...the doctors determined by ultrasound that I have placenta previa, but that there is a good chance it could move upwards....I regularly do yoga. Wondering if there are any poses that are not adviseable given this issue, or better yet, if there might be anything that would be helpful to aid the moving up process?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1] Please do not panic.
2] Placental location can shift away from mouth of the womb, as uterus starts enlarging with growing pregnancy.
3] Do avoid any strenuous activity, anything that increases pressure on your tummy. Have good iron , calcium and protein supplementation.
4] As such there are no medicines or remedies to move the placenta.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
