Hello mem,
Good morning,
I read your history in which you mentioned that you are diagnosed as placenta previa...
N I ll give some information about placenta previa
Placenta previa is abnormal position of placenta...n in placenta previa placenta postion is on os so generally according to grade normal delivery is never possible n blleding is so frequent on exposure even minor...so in this condition even vaginal examination is also contraindicated as placenta is normally more exposed during vaginal examination...
I am not allowed you to travel for 2 hour...as it is dangerous for pregnancy...or even bleeding is more that it is dangerous to you also...
Thank you,
Regards,
Dr.Ravi Kotecha
