Hi,thanks for query.In cases where placenta is low lying at time due to too much pressure on abdomen or some physical trauma there are chances of separation of placenta which is dangerous.So your doctor is right that you are required to take proper rest.Routine sitting and walking inside home is fine,but proper rest in between is must.bye.
