Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
This condition called placenta previa.
Placenta may go up with advancement of pregnancy.
Meanwhile she should take bed rest with pillow below her legs.
She should consult her treating doctor may be she can prescribe progesterone to support pregnancy.
She should watch for any bleeding if it occurs.
Avoid sexual intercourse.
Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more.
Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
