A member asked:

Can going on a very bumpy road cause a placenta tear if you have anterior placenta?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anterior placenta: The pregnancy is well protected in general, and a "bumpy road" will not affect it even with an "anterior placenta". However, if you have vaginal bleeding, see your OB provider immediately, as sometimes a "placenta previa" may be the origin of the bleeding. The stage/date of your pregnancy would be useful information.
