A member asked:

30 weeks pregnant. i worry about movements like sitting up and twisting to lay down and get up tearing my placenta. are these body movements risks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: I would advise against forceful twisting, but normal, gentle movements should not pose any risk to your baby or to the placenta.
