A member asked:

If the placenta(i have partial placenta previa) has not migrated by 24 weeks do you get to be put on bed rest? what are the precautions needed to take

Varies : This will vary from doctor to doctor. I do not put patients on bedrest unless they have had bleeding. All patients should avoid intercourse. This is a great question to ask your doctor at your next appointment.
