Accepted Answer

Placental bleed: It's hard to explain without being too technical but, basically, PGH is bleeding that occurs inside the amniotic sac due to leak or rupture of a placental blood vessel.  It can result from external trauma, but usually is spontaneous.   The presence of PGH puts your pregnancy at high risk.  I assume your OB plans to closely monitor you &amp; your unborn child and I wish you the best in that regard.

Accepted Answer

Usually none: This is a benign bleeding from a small vein in the space under the clear conjunctiva over the white of the eye. Due to oxygen exposure it stays very red until absorbed.

Otherwise you can wait it out.
